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.
