Bovine 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
