Title:
USE OF CHITOSAN FOR STIMULATING BONE HEALING AND BONE FORMATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006057011
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A use and a composition based on chitosan are provided for stimulating bone healing and bone formation. Chitosan is demonstrated to be a potent osteoinductor and substantially accelerates new bone formation through the endochondrial ossification pathway, by forming cartilage which is subsequently vascularised and mineralized and transformed into a normal healthy bone tissue.
