Abstract: A biodegradable dental preparation comprising at least one water-soluble fiber from hyaluronic acid or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof and at least one fiber from a non-polar derivative of hyaluronic acid is disclosed. The dental preparation may comprise an antimicrobial agent. The dental preparation may be useful in the treatment of periodontal disease or in the treatment of injuries in the periodontium and oral mucosa. Methods of preparing the dental preparations, fibers thereof, and related compositions thereto, are also disclosed.

Abstract: A chlorinated derivative of hyaluronic acid or of a modified hyaluronic acid (chloramide) is provided. The chloramide has an amidic group (—NH—CO—). The hydrogen of the amidic group is substituted by a chlorine atom, according to the structural formula —NCl—CO—. The substitution degree of the hyaluronic acid or of the modified hyaluronic acid by chlorine is in an amount of from 50 to 100 %.

Abstract: A composition having antimicrobial activity is provided. The composition comprises a polysaccharide, a stabilizer, and a triiodide, where the triiodide decomposition to iodide and volatile iodine can be significantly suppressed by the presence of the stabilizer. Methods of preparing and using the composition and devices prepared therewith are also disclosed. As compared to liquid forms comprising triiodide, stabilized solid forms can be used for a much wider range of applications due to their shape stability and a significantly smaller volume and weight of total material.

Abstract: The invention relates to two-component biodegradable core-sheath fibers comprising a combination of native and C11-C18 acylated hyaluronan or C11-C18 acylated hyaluronans. It further relates to method of preparation and use thereof, especially for controlled release of the active agent. Fibers may be further processed into the form of staple fibers, yarn, braided, woven, knitted and non-woven textiles.

Abstract: The invention relates to the biodegradable fibres which are based on hydrophobic derivatives of hylauronan, specifically on the base of the hyaluronan derivative C11-C18-acylated on hydroxyl groups of hyaluronic acid, and use thereof. Further the invention relates to the preparation of these fibres which is performed with the use of the wet spinning method in a coagulation bath comprising water solution of organic acid, with the production of continuous monofiles which can be thereafter processed to threads and further to textiles, knitted textiles, or nonwoven textiles. These textiles, knitted textiles or nonwoven textiles can be used for example for the production of implantable surgical material for human and veterinary medicine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the preparation of textile processable endless monofilaments and multifilaments on the basis of hyaluronan which has been selectively oxidized to aldehyde in the position 6 of its/V-acetyl-D-glucosamine group and to the subsequent modification of such filaments with low molecular dihydrazides. The fibres as well as the fabrics, which are subsequently prepared from the former, exhibit a time-varying solubility in saline depending on the external modification of the fibres. After having been externally modified, the fibres as well as the fabrics exhibit a prolong period of transition into an evenly distributed gel layer. The externally modified fibrous materials retain their full biocompatibility.
