General description

Dextran is a polysaccharide. Dextran fluids behave as colloids and also are used as plasma substitution. It may have siliconizing effect helping in coating raw serosal surfaces.

Application


  • Dextran for drug delivery: Dextran′s role as a biopolymer in drug delivery systems is underscored by its capacity to enhance drug solubility and stability, facilitating controlled release mechanisms crucial for targeted therapy applications (Wagai et al., 2024).

  • Dextran as a blood plasma expander: Dextran serves as a blood plasma expander in medical treatments, effectively restoring blood volume in patients undergoing surgery or suffering from shock, due to its high molecular weight and osmotic properties (Kohashi et al., 2024).
