Hyaluronidase, purified, from bovine vitreous humor CAS:37326-33-3

Medical Applications: Hyaluronidase is commonly used in the medical field for various purposes, such as:

Enhancing Drug Delivery: Hyaluronidase can be used to increase the absorption and dispersal of certain medications. It breaks down the hyaluronic acid barrier in tissues, making it easier for drugs to reach their target sites.

Anesthesia Delivery: By injecting hyaluronidase alongside local anesthetics, it can help speed up the onset and spread of anesthesia.

Subcutaneous Fluid Dispersion: Hyaluronidase can be used to disperse and improve the absorption of subcutaneous fluids, such as in cases of fluid accumulation or edema.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Correction: In some instances where dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid need to be corrected or dissolved, hyaluronidase can be used to break down the filler and reverse its effects.

Assisting In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Hyaluronidase is used in IVF procedures to facilitate the removal of the cumulus cells surrounding the egg. By digesting the cumulus cells, it helps in the isolation and selection of viable eggs for fertilization.

Research and Diagnostics: Hyaluronidase is used in research studies and diagnostic tests to deplete hyaluronic acid from tissues, allowing further investigations into its functions and role in various diseases or conditions.
