Lifecore Hyaluronan Finished Products for Ophthalmic, Orthopedic and Skin Rejuvenation Procedures
What is Hyaluronan?
Hyaluronan (also known as sodium hyaluronate or hyaluronic acid) is a polysaccharide composed of repeating disacchride units of glucuronate and N-acetyl glucosamine linked by β 1-3 and β 1-4 glycosidic bonds and counter ions.
Lifecore manufactures hyaluronan using an extremely efficient microbial fermentation process and is highly purified before it’s turned into finished products in our state-of-the-art facilities.
