Dextran as the Dressing Component of FASTCLOT®
نویسنده
چکیده
Intravenous administration of Dextran 40 exerts an antithrombotic effect on platelets, endothelium and red blood cells by reducing aggregation and adhesiveness. Intravascular clots are less likely to form in the presence of dextran. This property of dextran has made it useful as a prophylactic agent for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in surgical patients. It also is used to maintain patency of vessels in procedures that require microanastomosis.

متن کاملCharacterization of the Dextran Produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides from Date Fruit Extract
In the present study, the production of dextran from date extract and sucrose as carbon sources by the bacterium Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B512 (f) was investigated. In comparison to blue dextran (Mw≈2000 Da), dextran molecular weight was reduced (Mw2000 KDa). Flow behavior indices of dextran solutions from date extracts were investigated and rheological parameters were evaluated at concen...
