Pharmaceutical applications of chitosan on medical implants: A viable alternative for construction of new biomaterials?

The cytocompatibility, good degradability and antimicrobial action of chitosan (CS) makes this polysaccharide a highly sought after candidate for applications in medical devices. Thus, development of biofunctional implants associated with CS has been proposed in regenerative medicine as these biomat...
