Abstract
Chitin extracted from the shells of Japanese pink crab accelerates wound healing. The usefulness of gauze coated on both sides with chitin after endonasal operation was evaluated in clinical trials at six hospitals. Coated gauze tampons were used in 37 patients after repairs of deviated septum, conchotomy, nasal polypectomy, etc. Although insertion was difficult, chitin-gauze tampons were more useful than conventional gauzetampons with respect to extractability and manageability.
