As chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, surgical incisions, and other wound types become increasingly complex, traditional dressings gradually reveal limitations in moisture retention, antibacterial properties, breathability, and bioactivity. To meet the modern demands for efficient, safe, and smart wound care solutions, functional hydrogel materials have emerged. PAM/CS hydrogel (composed of polyacrylamide and chitosan) demonstrates remarkable advantages in wound healing due to its excellent gel-forming ability, biocompatibility, and tunable properties.
Taskcm possesses mature PAM/CS hydrogel preparation technology and customization capabilities, providing clients with multi-specification, multi-performance hydrogel products to meet different stages of pharmaceutical R&D needs.
Product Introduction
Product Name: PAM/CS Composite Hydrogel Dressing
Product Overview:
This product is a soft, transparent, three-dimensional hydrogel network that can be directly applied to the wound surface. It offers excellent fluid absorption, film-forming ability, and bioactivity to accelerate wound repair. It is suitable for a variety of wound care applications.
Technical Parameters:
- Gel water content: >90%
- pH adaptability: 4.5–8.0
- Biodegradability: High
- Antibacterial efficacy (inhibition rate): >95% (against E. coli and S. aureus)
Material Composition:
- Polyacrylamide (PAM)
- Chitosan (CS)
- Deionized water
- Crosslinking agents (optional, natural/biodegradable)
Physical Properties:
- Excellent softness and adhesion to wound surfaces without displacement
- Microporous structure supporting gas exchange and exudate absorption
- Non-adhesive to wounds, reducing pain during dressing changes
For drug-loading applications, the hydrogel surface or structure can be functionally modified, enabling precise design of drug release profiles.
