Brand owners in the medical aesthetics repair space are already very familiar with sodium hyaluronate and recombinant collagen. But over the past two years, one raw material has been rising rapidly—recombinant mussel adhesive protein.
Mussels are the sea creatures commonly known as marine mussels or blue mussels. These organisms can firmly attach to rocks thanks to the unique DOPA structure in mussel adhesive protein. Researchers have translated this underwater adhesion mechanism to human wound repair—recombinant mussel adhesive protein can both adhere to wound surfaces to form a protective film and promote cell migration and repair.
We currently hold 8 Class II medical device registration certificates related to recombinant mussel adhesive protein, covering three application scenarios: wound repair, nasal care, and oral ulcer treatment.
I. Wound Repair Category (4 products)
1. Medical Recombinant Mussel Adhesive Protein Repair Dressing
Scope of application: Suitable for care of superficial wounds on the human body, first-degree or superficial second-degree burn wounds, and post-operative wounds from laser/photon/fruit acid peeling/micro-plastic surgery, providing a microenvironment for wound healing.
Structural composition: The liquid consists of recombinant mussel adhesive protein, 1,3-butanediol, glycerin, carbomer, beta-glucan, sodium hydroxide, and purified water. 4 types of packaging: aluminum foil bag, glass bottle, pump bottle, glass tube.
Models and specifications: Aluminum foil bag 10g-40g, glass bottle 1g-60g, pump bottle 1g-200g, glass tube 1g-10g. The formula includes beta-glucan, a classic immune-modulating and repair-promoting agent that works synergistically with mussel adhesive protein.
2. Medical Recombinant Mussel Adhesive Protein Repair Gel
Scope of application: Used for covering non-chronic wounds such as post-surgical sutured wounds. Tube or pump bottle, 1g-150g.
3. Medical Recombinant Mussel Adhesive Protein Wound Care Dressing
Three forms: Type I A bottle (lyophilized product) + B bottle (purified water) + spray pump; Type II lyophilized product in glass bottle; Type III solution. A bottle 10-400mg, B bottle 1-40mL.
4. Medical Recombinant Mussel Adhesive Protein Gel
Structural composition: Triple repair system of mussel adhesive protein + beta-glucan + ectoin. 6 types of packaging: tube, glass bottle, plastic bottle, aluminum-plastic tube, glass tube, plastic tube. 0.5g-150g.
II. Nasal Care Category (3 products)
5-6. Medical Recombinant Mussel Adhesive Protein Nasal Spray (two versions)
Scope of application: Used for nasal cleaning in patients with nasal diseases such as acute and chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, and sinusitis, as well as nasal cleaning after rhinitis surgery and chemotherapy.
Packaging covers plastic bottles, aluminum bottles, and glass bottles, 5mL-200mL.
7. Medical Recombinant Mussel Adhesive Protein Nasal Care Solution
Structural composition: Mussel adhesive protein, sodium chloride, ectoin, purified water. Plastic bottle or glass bottle with spray pump, 5mL-200mL.
III. Oral Ulcer Category (1 product)
8. Medical Recombinant Mussel Adhesive Protein Oral Ulcer Gel
Scope of application: Used to relieve pain caused by wounds from oral ulcers, oral inflammation, dentures, or surgery.
Structural composition: Mussel adhesive protein, glycerin, trehalose, carbomer, etc. 4 types of packaging: tube, plastic bottle, aluminum-plastic tube, disposable push-injection tube. The push-injection tube is a particularly interesting dosage form—it precisely targets the ulcer site, and application is as simple as pushing to dispense.
IV. Differentiated Value of Mussel Adhesive Protein
Compared with sodium hyaluronate and recombinant collagen, mussel adhesive protein has three unique advantages: 1. Underwater adhesion capability—the DOPA structure allows the product to adhere to moist wound surfaces without easily falling off; 2. Cell repair activity—promotes fibroblast migration and proliferation; 3. Wide application range—can be used on skin wounds, nasal mucosa, and oral mucosa.
For brand owners, mussel adhesive protein is currently a differentiated track with less intense competition. There are still few brands developing niche categories like rhinitis spray and oral ulcer gel, so early entrants have a first-mover advantage.
