Hydrogels and degradable materials are at the heart of modern implants, drug delivery systems, and regenerative therapies.
Overview
Why Swelling and Degradation Matter:
If a hydrogel swells too much in the body, it can compress surrounding tissues or blood vessels.
If it degrades too quickly or too slowly, it may fail to deliver drugs properly or overstimulate the immune system.
Predictable material behavior is essential for patient safety and therapeutic effectiveness.
Example Applications:
Drug-eluting Hydrogels for Chemotherapy or wound healing
Biodegradable Surgical scaffolds and adhesives
Regenerative Tissue matrices for cartilage or cardiac repair
How GelTech Helps:
Carousel and LIMVA provide automated, real-time testing of swelling ratios, mass loss rates, and degradation kinetics in biomaterials under controlled environments that simulate body conditions
Polyscan 3D captures how implants change shape in liquid, offering non-destructive insight into material dynamics.
