Dextranomer (trade name Debrisan, Exudex[1]) is a cicatrizant used in dressings for wound healing,[2] and in pharmaceutical products to treat fecal incontinence.[3] It consists of dextran polymer chains cross-linked into a three-dimensional network.[4]

Solesta

Solesta is the marketed brand name of a system of injections of dextranomer in stabilized sodium hyaluronate for use in fecal incontinence (FI).[5] This preparation is a biocompatible gel, for use as a perianal injectable bulking agent. The system is intended to be injected in the submucosal layer of the proximal anal canal (i.e. above the level of the dentate line).
