DEVICE MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMEDICAL DEVICE

01 · THE CUSTOMER PROBLEM

Medical-textile teams need to move chitosan functionality into a fiber that survives real converting, sterilization and wound-contact requirements.

Mykito connects molecular specification to continuous filament, staple, yarn and nonwoven formats so the material can enter an existing textile workflow.

Chitosan fibers, yarns and nonwoven structures for absorbable, wound-contact and regenerative medical-device development.

02 · RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT

Start with the material designed for the decision.

MYKITO PLATFORMChitoGene + BioFoundry
RECOMMENDED SAMPLEA fiber or nonwoven sample matched to the intended textile process and contact classification.

Transforming chitosan into a continuous fiber moves its biological and surface properties into a scalable textile format that can be cut, layered, woven, knitted or formed into a nonwoven.

01

Without the shell

Controlled fungal sourcing supports a traceable, non-animal supply strategy.

02

Specification engineered

MW, DDA, purity, charge density and format are selected around the target result.

03

Application ready

Powder is only the starting point; Mykito also develops films, fibers, gels, coatings and formulations.

04

One technical partner

Material selection, formulation support and the validation plan are connected from the first sample.

03 · PERFORMANCE TARGETS

Build toward outcomes a buyer can measure.

01

Wound-contact textiles

Wound-contact textiles can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished medical fibers + nonwovens system.

02

Absorbable structures

Absorbable structures can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished medical fibers + nonwovens system.

03

Biofunctional nonwovens

Biofunctional nonwovens can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished medical fibers + nonwovens system.

04 · GO / NO-GO CRITERIA

Define the evidence before testing begins.

The first program is designed around three decision-making outputs—not an open-ended material trial.

01

Fiber strength and converting performance

02

Absorbency and wet integrity

03

Sterilization and biocompatibility

05 · FROM SAMPLE TO DECISION

A practical application program,
not a bag of powder.

01

Define

Agree on the function, baseline, constraints and measurable success criteria.

02

Screen

Select the MW, DDA, purity, dose and physical format that fit the application.

03

Validate

Test the winning system in the finished formulation, device, process or use environment.

06 · WHY CHITOSAN

A functional tissue interface

Coatings, fibers, films, gels and porous matrices can create a modifiable interface on metals, polymers, composites or wound-contact structures.

FORMULATION WINDOW

There is no universal concentration. Grade and dose are screened against pH, interacting ingredients, process conditions and the target performance profile.

QUALIFICATION

Biocompatibility, endotoxin, sterilization, mechanics and degradation are qualified around the final device and contact classification.
