Chitin wound healing

More recently chitosan polymers which are derivatives of chitin materials have evoked interest due to their bioactivity and biodegradability. For example, N-carboxybutyl chitosan has been show to effectively promote wound healing (9). Acetate, and butyrate derivatives of chitosan have decreased blood clotting time significantly (10). [Pg.11]

Chitin s properties as a tough and strong material make it favourable as surgical thread. Additionally, its biodegradibility means it wears away with time as the wound heals. Moreover, chitin has some unusual properties that accelerate healing of wounds in humans. Chitin has even been used as a stand-alone wound-healing agent. [Pg.127]

The rapid healing of wounds is desirable for patients, especially those suffering from diabetes, because they show an extremely slow rate of healing. Chitin and chitosan have been investigated by many researchers for a long time as possible wound-healing accelerators [143,144]. Chitin and its derivatives can be applied safely to animals, as well as the humans. [Pg.145]

Muzzarelli et al. reported the incorporation of chitin nanociystals in wound dressing formulations made of chitosan glycolate. It was found that CHNCs provide better structural stability and slow release of various compounds, such as proteins, growth factors, etc. Morganti et al. had previously reported on the wound healing properties of CHNCs and the amelioration of photoaging and reduction of scars. [Pg.219]
