Raw Material Chitosan Fiber Medical Grade Chitosan Fiber
Chitosan Fiber is a fiber derived from chitin, a fibrous substance found in the exoskeletons of crabs,lobsters, shrimp and other shellfish. It boasts a number of important medicinal properties and biomedical applications.
Research suggests that chitosan can accelerate wound healing and eliminate scar tissue.One study found that chitosan prevented scar tissue formation on rats that underwent surgery.
Chitosan's blood-clotting properties also make it an excellent addition to medical bandages. In 2013, the International Journal of Advanced Biotechnology and Research published a study that examined the healing properties of chitosan bandages on small cuts and burns on rats. The rats' wounds healed quickly when treated with chitosan, which actively reduced blood loss and induced faster healing .
Another study found that chitosan effectively treated and healed diabetic ulcers-with no side effects-in study participants.
Characteristics of Chitosan Fibers
1. Has good biocompatibility and biological activity,
2. The natural broad-spectrum antibacterial effect can inhibit the growth of various harmful bacteria and fungi,
3. Stop bleeding and pain promote wound healing and reduce scars on the wound surface,
4. Caring for the skin,preventing odors,allergies,moisturizing,and adsorbing heavy metals,
5. Good biological safety, non-toxic to the human body, non irritating,non allergenic,and can be degraded and absorbed by skin tissue,

Application of Chitosan Fiber
1. For Nonwoven wound Dressing Patch
2. Chitosan fiber are soft and dispersed, easy to comb,with curl, good cohesion between fibers, and strong spinnability
3. Chitosan fiber can be made into pure chitosan fiber needle punched non-woven fabric and spunlace non-woven fabric.
4. Chitosan fiber can be mixed with viscose fiber,cotton fiber, ES fiber in any proportion to make spunlace non-woven,needle-punched non-woven and hot air non-woven
5. Chitosan fiber has good spinnability and can be blended with cotton, wool, viscose and other fibers in different proportions to form yarns.
