Biopolymers for wound healing
Biopolymers enhance the healing mechanism of the body; in particular hyaluronic acid and alginate. Various biopolymers have proven to have regenerative, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic capabilities. Therefore patients suffering from difficult to heal or chronic wounds can benefit from biopolymers based wound management products.
Hemostatic Biomaterials
BioMed Elements’ biomaterials display hemostatic properties. The products have excellent fluid absorption capabilities and can assist in promoting the clotting cascade of the body.
