Description

Chitosan Antimicrobial Hydrogel is a bio-derived material formulated from chitosan, a cationic polysaccharide obtained from chitin. Its inherent positive charge enables strong interaction with negatively charged microbial cell membranes, resulting in effective antibacterial activity without the need for additional agents. The hydrogel structure provides a hydrated and permeable environment, supporting applications that require both antimicrobial protection and material compatibility with biological systems.

The material is engineered for consistency and tunability, with controlled degree of deacetylation and viscosity to suit different use cases. It can be prepared as an injectable system, coating layer, or scaffold material. The hydrogel is particularly suitable for applications where natural origin, biodegradability, and low toxicity are important considerations.
