Collagen Particles - 1g Vial

Lyophilised medical grade bovine collagen particles to encourage wound healing and induce haemostasis.

• 100% non-bleached, native undigested bovine collagen
• Medical grade type 1 collagen
• Facilitates moist wound healing and improves patient outcomes resulting in lowered costs and improved patient welfare (see 'How it works' below)
• Easy application and superior conformity to the wound
  
• 1g single-use sterile vial
  
• Sold singly,
• Bulk deal available

How to use:

• For second intention healing on mix with Hydrogel at a ratio of 2:1 and apply the paste to wound to coverage of 6mm thick. Cover with a silicone foam dressing
• For haemostasis apply the powder directly onto the area

How it works:

• Encourages wound healing through scaffold structure: unique biocompatible porous structure that provides excellent absorption and scaffolding for cell proliferation and migration, allowing fibroblasts to migrate across the wound bed and facilitating granulation, angiogenesis and tissue repair
• Induces haemostasis: in acute wounds, collagen rapidly activates platelets and coagulating factors to induce haemostasis
• Assists in reducing barriers to wound healing: Provides substrate collagen to divert matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) digestion from healing tissues and reduces inflammation that may slow or prevent healing
• Crosslinking process increases mechanical strength and moderates enzymatic digestion
• High exudate absorption and retention provides moist wound healing environment
