Additional Information for Dextranomer
Dextranomer is a type of medical supply that falls under the supply class Drugs And Biologicals in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
Dextranomer is a biocompatible hydrogel that is used in various medical applications. It is primarily used in the field of urology and pediatric surgery. Dextranomer is commonly used as an injectable implant for the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), a condition where urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidneys.
When injected into the wall of the bladder, dextranomer forms a bulking agent that helps to prevent the backflow of urine. It provides support to the ureter and helps to restore normal urinary function. Dextranomer is often used in combination with other materials, such as hyaluronic acid, to enhance its effectiveness.
Dextranomer is biodegradable and gradually breaks down over time, allowing the body to naturally eliminate it. It is considered safe and well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with the use of dextranomer, which should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
Overall, dextranomer is an important medical supply used in the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux, providing a non-surgical option for patients, especially children, who are affected by this condition.
