Practical aspects related to application of chitin and its derivatives in wound management
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2016, Vol 70, Issue 2
Abstract
Chitin is a polysaccharide with unique properties. In this paper, we reviewed biological properties of chitin, limitations of its industrial applications and directions of its further chemical modifications. In view of growing demand for the modern wound dressing materials, we discussed potential clinical applications of chitin and its two most popular derivatives: chitosan and dibutyryl chitin. In addition, we characterized commercially available chitin- and chitosan- based wound dressings.
