chitin wound dressing

Chitosan is a unique form of fibre produced from the shells of sea crustaceans like crabs and shrimp. Chitin, long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine ChitinVerified is the second most abundant natural biopolymer in the world only next to cellulose. That’s pretty amazing! The benefits of first aid kits are dramatic actually, and they have been helping people to heal their injuries.

Chitin is an antimicrobial which means it helps prevent infection so let's look at chitins role in infections first. This is critical because it allows bacteria, which are minuscule living things that can make us sick.to get into wounds quite readily. Say a wound is made and it gets infected, you see; redness, running pain. A dressing equipped with chitin can keep those hazardous germs away and inevitably the wound is safer, therefore healing optimally.

Healing Properties of Chitin for Wound Care

Chitin it provides so much more than just stopping germs and absorbing fluid! It also supports faster healing of wounds. If Chitin touches a wound, the body produces more skin and blood vessels around it. This allows the wound to heal faster and more easily, with fewer scar formations (where skin does not necessarily re-grow evenly).

A novel, exciting treatment for wounds– chitin dressings are emerging as an excellent choice for medical professionals to deploy. Bandages are good at being a bandage — covering the wound and possibly keeping dirt out, but as far as healing goes, regular ole Band-Aids have nothing on chitin dressings.
