  • Patent number: 12252595
    Abstract: Medical material production and preparation, and a preparation method of a 4D chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogel. First, chitosan is dissolved in acetic acid solution; a chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogel is printed by a 4D bioprinter and lyophilized after solvent extraction, to obtain lyophilized chitosan; subsequently, aqueous ?-sodium glycerophosphate solution is prepared with ultrapure water and ?-sodium glycerophosphate, and then aqueous carboxymethyl chitosan solution is prepared with ultrapure water and aqueous ?-sodium glycerophosphate solution are charged into and mixed well with aqueous carboxymethyl chitosan solution to prepare a mixture; finally, the lyophilized chitosan is crosslinked with the mixture to obtain the 4D chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogel. With scientific and reliable principles thereof, the present invention solves a problem that conventional thermosensitive hydrogels have uneven pore sizes, and improves the entrapment efficiency and ability of limbal stem cells.
