Abstract: Chitosan has been successfully used as a biomaterial with several purposes in many species. In this study, chitosan membranes were produced with six different types of materials, and their behavior were evaluated upon implantation in the subcutaneous tissue of the flank of twelve healthy horses. We assessed chitosan membranes obtained from commercial chitosan, impregnated or not with silver nanoparticles, sterilized with ethylene oxide (CCEO, n=3; CCSNEO, n=3) or by ultraviolet radiation (CCUR, n=3; CCSNUR, n=… Show more

“…The structure of chitosan is similar to that of glycosaminoglycans, glycoproteins, and glycolipids present in the extracellular matrix of biological tissues. Chitosan is a cationic biopolymer that is obtained by partial deacetylation of chitin, which is found in the structure of crustaceans, insects and mollusks 22 and in the cell wall of fungi 23 26 . Chitosan has several clinical applications such as drug delivery, surgical threads and wound healing materials due to its hemostatic properties 6 , 27 .…”
