Mucoadhesive Hydrogels

Mucoadhesive hydrogels are gel-like materials designed to stick to moist mucous membranes in the body, such as the inside of the mouth or nasal passages. They retain moisture and adhere securely, allowing for localized drug delivery or healing. Their ability to stay in place for extended periods improves treatment effectiveness and patient comfort. Made from biocompatible polymers, these hydrogels are versatile in medical applications, aiding in sustained medication release and tissue regeneration without causing significant irritation or discomfort.
