Sodium alginate and hyaluronic acid blended hydrogel matrix

Abstract

A biocompatible lyophilized pellet comprised of alginate and hyaluronate. The pellet may be used to provide a gliding surface for tissues impacted by surgery. The pellet may be delivered in a broad range of volumes to address large to micron-sized target tissues. The pellet may be hydrated before or after application. An external stimulus comprising a crosslinker may be applied to mold the pellet in situ around complex tissue geometries or to tailor the rate of bioresorption.
