The present invention relates to a kit suitable for preparing a biocompatible
polymer hydrogel, the kit comprising at least two containers, each container comprising an aqueous composition comprising at least one of
tyramine functionalized
dextran (Dex-TA),
tyramine functionalized
hyaluronic acid (HA-TA), a
peroxidase and
hydrogen peroxide, the present invention relates to a biocompatible
polymer hydrogel comprising Dex-TA and HA-TA, which components when mixed are capable of forming said biocompatible
polymer hydrogel wherein
peroxidase and
hydrogen peroxide are each present in different containers wherein the total weight ratio of Dex-TA to HA-TA is between 75: 25 and 25: 75, preferably between 60: 40 and 40: 60, more preferably between 55: 45 and 45: 55; wherein the concentration of Dex-TA is between 2 wt% and 7 wt% relative to the total weight of the aqueous composition in the kit; wherein the concentration of HA-TA varies between 2 wt% and 7 wt% relative to the total weight of the aqueous composition in the kit; wherein Dex-TA comprises unsubstituted
dextran repeat units and TA substituted
dextran repeat units, and the amount of TA substituted repeat units (DSDEX) in DEX-TA is between 5 mol% and 20 mol% relative to the total number of unsubstituted repeat units and TA substituted repeat units according to
proton nuclear magnetic resonance; wherein the HA-TA comprises unsubstituted
hyaluronic acid repeat units and TA-substituted
hyaluronic acid repeat units, and the amount of TA-substituted repeat units (DSHA) in the HA-TA is between 5 mol% and 20 mol% according to
proton nuclear magnetic resonance; wherein the Dex-TA has a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of between 15 kDa and 650 kDa; wherein the HA-TA has a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of between 15 kDa and 550 kDa; wherein the
peroxidase is present at a concentration of between 0.25 unit / ml and 10 unit / ml and the
hydrogen peroxide is present at a concentration of between 0.01 wt% and 0.10 wt% relative to the total weight of the aqueous composition in the kit.
