Heparosan
Support your innovation in medical device development with a natural biopolymer
Heparosan is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan, with a structure very close to Hyaluronic Acid.
As pharmaceutical biopolymer, it displays additional useful properties.
Global access exclusively through HTL Biotechnology.
Features
- Produced by fermentation using a non animal source
- Longer lasting effects, not degraded by hyaluronidase enzymes
- Rheological properties supporting gel formation including cross-linking with good resistance to basic pH
Advantages
A safe & efficient molecule
- Biocompatible and non-immunogenic
- Safe absorption
- No accumulation of breakdown products in the body
- Favor fibroblast and keratinocytes proliferation
- Reduce IL-18 secretion by keratinocytes
