Scope note: Glucano estructuralmente relacionado con la maltodextrina; más del 85 por ciento de sus moléculas tienen pesos moleculares de entre 1640 y 45 000 daltons (Da) y un peso molecular medio en peso de aproximadamente 20 000 Da; se usa en soluciones de diálisis como alternativa a las soluciones a base de glucosa, así como para reducir las adherencias tras intervenciones quirúrgicas ginecológicas o abdominales. También se ha usado como vehículo para fármacos administrados a través de la cavidad peritoneal.

Scope note: A glucan that is structurally related to maltodextrin, with more than 85% of its molecules having molecular weights between 1640 and 45 000 Daltons (Da), and a weight-average molecular weight of about 20 000 Da; it is used in dialysis fluids as an alternative to glucose-based solutions, and to reduce adhesions after gynecological or abdominal surgery. It has also been used as a vehicle for drugs given via the peritoneal cavity.
