Chytoform gelling fiber is primarily composed of chitosan, a well-known biological material derived from crustacean shells. Chitosan’s unique chemistry, including a positive charge at physiological pH, has made it the center of much academic and clinical research(1-30).
Our Opticell dressings are the first application of this advanced biological material for use in chronic wound care, but chitosan has been used in other health care applications (e.g., topical hemostat, treatment of surgical wounds and traumatic injuries and in dietary supplements) because of its unique properties.
When Opticell with Chytoform technology comes into contact with moisture, it transform into a strong, absorbent and conformable gel that controls minor bleeding common in newly debrided wounds. These characteristics allow Opticell to deliver excellent outcomes.
