Discover our hyaluronan-based extracellular matrices

Extracel™ products provide basic formulations that are flexible, simple to use and easy to manipulate in order to match physiological conditions such as matrix composition and compliance.

• User friendly : Simply add water and go! Extracel™ forms hydrogel at physiological pH and at 15 to 37°C.
• Chemically defined: Extracel™ is a semi-synthetic hydrogel composed of hyaluronic acid and denatured collagen.
• Customizable: Extracel™ hydrogel can be tailored to include matricellular proteins and growth factors. Their gelation time and compliance can be changed to suit your application.
• Biocompatible: Extracel™ is biocompatible, biodegradable, ideal for animal implantation and it's LDEV-free.
