Performance comparison between next-generation and shear-thinning hydrogel-based submucosal injection materials

In 2020, we developed a next-generation submucosal injection material (NG-SIM) by devising a 2-solution-type SIM comprising 2.0% calcium chloride and 0.4% sodium alginate solutions.1 This NG-SIM achieved high performance and high flexibility. In 2019, shear-thinning hydrogel-based SIMs, which are easy to inject due to their low viscosity during injection and which form a highly viscous submucosal cushion after injection, were devised.2-4
