SODIUM HYALURONATE

SODIUM HYALURONATE

Sodium Hyaluronate is produced by extraction from rooster combs. The resulting polymer is a large molecular coil with enhanced rheological properties. Sodium hyaluronate has a high degree of biocompability because sodium hyaluronate is a physiological substance that is widely distributed in the extra cellular matrix of connective tissue in both animals & man and is chemically indentical in different species. The most important properties of sodium hyaluronate are protection & lubircation of delicate cells and tissues.
