Collagen Chitosan Membrane for Plastic surgery and Dentistry
Collagen chitosan membrane derived from collagen of fish air bladder and chitosan from prawn shell is intended to be used as an artificial space making barrier over periodontal bony defects- specifically in infrabony 2-3 walled defects and grade II furcation defects in dentistry and as covering membrane preventing fluid loss and blood loss in burns/wounds during healing. It finds applications in plastic surgery also. Collagen-Chitosan films are flexible, tough, transparent, clear and oxygen permeable with good tensile strength.
