In Situ Forming Hydrogels

Meaning

In Situ Forming Hydrogels are advanced biomaterial systems that are administered as a liquid or solution but spontaneously transition into a stable, three-dimensional gel structure upon injection into the body, or in situ. These smart materials are increasingly utilized in hormonal health for drug delivery, offering a depot system for the sustained, localized release of therapeutic peptides or hormones. Their clinical value lies in creating a long-acting, biodegradable reservoir that minimizes the need for frequent dosing and maintains consistent physiological concentrations.
