Presentation
This new biomaterial is made of sodium alginate. Different layers are deposited on an inert or functionalized medium thanks to aerographic stylets and a compressor. The alginate solution can be enriched with eukaryote cells or can be associated with other molecules (hyaluronic acid, chondroïtine sulfate).
The originality resides in initiating reticulation of the sodium alginate solution by adding a defined quantity of calcium chloride solution. The obtained reaction allows the deposition of successive layers, interacting with one another, which enables obtaining an increased material thickness, and therefore, the treatment of deeper lesions.
