Abstract: A thiol-modified hyaluronan, wherein the thiol-modified hyaluronan comprises a plurality of modification groups with a thiol-group in the hyaluronan side-chains, wherein the modification group comprises an amino acid residue with basic side chain and a conjugated terminal naturally occurring amino-thiol as well as a sterile hydrogel composition comprising a crosslinked polymer, wherein the crosslinked polymer is an oxidation product of the thiol-modified hyaluronan and uses of the composition.

Abstract: A sterile hydrogel composition that includes a crosslinked polymer, wherein the crosslinked polymer is an oxidation product of a thiol-modified hyaluronan and wherein the thiol-modified hyaluronan has a degree of modification of hyaluronan with thiol moieties of more than about 80 ?mol per gram polymer, wherein the thiol-modified hyaluronan has a degree of modification of hyaluronan with thiol moieties of less than about 280 ?mol per gram polymer, and wherein the thiol-modified hyaluronan has a mean molecular weight of at least 400 kDa.
