Description

General description

Dextran is a polysaccharide. Dextran fluids behave as colloids; and also are used as plasma substitution. It may have siliconizing effect helping in coating raw serosal surfaces.

Application

• Wound healing applications: Dextran is used in collagen-polyurethane-dextran hydrogels, which enhance wound healing by inhibiting inflammation and promoting collagen fibrillogenesis, showcasing its importance in medical biomaterials (Aguayo-Morales et al., 2024).


• Pharmaceutical research: Dextran is a key component in the formulation of pharmaceuticals, aiding in the stability and delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients, which is crucial for the development of more effective therapeutic agents (Kohashi et al., 2024).
