Episode 2 I How Carboxymethyl Chitosan works for Osteoarthritis patients

Understand the molecular properties that make carboxymethyl chitosan effective for osteoarthritis treatment.

Mickaël, our biopolymer chemistry expert, explains:

• The chemical transformation from chitin to carboxymethyl chitosan
• How we solved the water-solubility challenge
• Two critical properties: joint lubrication + oxidative stress scavenging
• Why this combination protects cartilage and reduces degeneration

Carboxymethyl chitosan forms a hydrated protective film that reduces friction between cartilage surfaces while capturing reactive substances in OA joints. This dual-action biomaterial is manufactured by KiOmed Pharma in Liège, Belgium. Our medical device offers a safe, biocompatible solution for patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint diseases.
