CE-marked FibDex wound dressing (NB0044) has been designed to improve efficiency of wound treatment by offering superior performance and improved healing results. Intended use for FibDex is skin graft donor site wounds. FibDex nanocellulose wound dressing is a one-time application, which maintains an optimal moisture balance for wound healing and detaches itself from the wound after epithelization.

If you are looking to customise your hydrogel then GrowDex-A is for you. GrowDex-A is a transparent hydrogel that has been modified by the addition of an avidin group so you can attach any biotinylated molecule you like. GrowDex®-A is a ready to use, transparent hydrogel that has been specifically developed to bind different biotinylated molecules, whose presence may enhance cell culture conditions for specific 3D applications. GrowDex-A consists of avidin conjugated nanofibrillar cellulose which can be customised by binding different biotinylated molecules e.g. proteins or peptides, to create a cell specific matrix. Ambient handling and shear thinning properties of GrowDex-A enable easy dispensing and use in automated systems.

GrowDase™ enzyme breaks down GrowDex® hydrogel to form a solution in an easy one step efficient cell recovery process. 3D cell structures such as spheroids, organoid or biopsies are retained with no impact on cell viability or functionality. Liberated cells can be used in gene or protein expression studies or for future experiments.
