2.5 iPAAG: A long-lasting, biocompatible, non-degradable hydrogel.
2.5 iPAAG* is a long-lasting non-degradable bio-scaffold, comprising of 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide and 97.5% water.
Due to its unique structure it is a non-migratory and highly durable injectable hydrogel that integrates with the surrounding tissue.
2.5 iPAAG is permeable to salts and organic molecules, allowing tissue to integrate after injection. 2.5 iPAAG continually exchanges
water with the surrounding tissue, which allows it to maintain its volume post-injection, providing long-lasting symptom
relief for patients in a wide range of indications.
This prevents common issues found with other injectables such as tissue hardening and particle migration while providing
long-lasting symptom relief.
3 months
The 2.5 iPAAG is mainly positioned in the injected tissue as one big blue lump. Some tissue integration is observed as smaller blue chunks.
1 year
The 2.5 iPAAG is visible as blue patches integrated between pink strings of extracellular matrix holding the hydrogel in place.
2.5 years
The 2.5 iPAAG is visible as small blue chunks between an elaborate network of pink strings of extracellular matrix holding the hydrogel in place.
