collagen dressings
Collagen dressings are dressings that are derived from animal sources, such as bovine (cattle), equine (horse) or porcine (pig) sources. The collagen helps to promote the growth of new collagen at the wound site, prompting an often speedier recovery period.
Collagen Dressings. Collagen dressings are meant for wounds with minimal to heavy exudates and also partial- and full-thickness wounds. They stimulate new tissue growth and help to heal necrotic wounds, skin grafts and second-degree burns. Most collagen dressings have antimicrobial agents incorporated to limit spread of infections.
