Botanical extracts for substance based medical devices
Substance based medical devices
Substance based medical devices resemble in shape and composition to other products classified as medicines, supplements or cosmetics, but have well-defined characteristics such as the therapeutic purpose and the main mechanism of action which is of non-pharmacological, non-immunological and non-metabolic (not FIM) type. For their development, they require raw materials that must act with a chemical or physical mechanism of action.
Alidans can investigate the mechanism of action of medical devices and substances.
Alidans develops substances to be included in medical devices with the following actions:
Anti-inflammatory/analgesic
• free radical scavenging
• pro-oxidant metal chelation
