Description

Cadexomer CAS NO 88649-88-1 is a high-purity, cross-linked dextran polymer derivative designed for advanced medical and pharmaceutical applications. Its unique structure provides a high capacity for fluid absorption and controlled interaction with biological systems, making it a critical component in modern wound care and drug delivery technologies. This material is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, advanced wound dressing, and biomedical research sectors seeking reliable, high-performance excipients and active matrix materials.

Application

• Advanced Wound Care Products: Primary active ingredient in specialized wound dressings for managing exuding wounds, such as leg ulcers and pressure sores.
• Topical Drug Delivery Systems: Serves as a controlled-release matrix for the localized delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in gels, pastes, and ointments.
• Medical Device Coatings: Used to create hydrophilic and absorptive coatings on medical devices to manage moisture and improve biocompatibility.
• Hemostatic Agents: Incorporated into formulations designed to promote blood clotting and control minor bleeding.
• Biomedical Research: Employed as a scaffold or matrix material in tissue engineering and in vitro studies requiring a hydrated, polysaccharide-based environment.
• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: Used in topical preparations for animal wound management and care.

Quality Control

Our Cadexomer is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for critical applications. Quality is verified through comprehensive testing, including identification, assay, particle size distribution, moisture content, and microbial limits, adhering to relevant pharmacopeial guidelines. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance.
