Features

• McKesson Collagen Dressings
• Advanced, topically-applied wound dressing transforms into a gel upon contact with exudates
• Indicated for management of full and partial thickness wounds including: pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, ulcers caused by mixed vascular aetiologies, venous ulcers, donor and graft sites, abrasions, traumatic wounds healing by secondary intention, dehisced surgical wounds, first and second-degree burns
• Cool, soothing effect of gelling action enhances patient comfort
• Made from collagen, sodium alginate, carboxylmethylcellulose (CMC) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)
• Alginate and CMC allow dressing to absorb wound drainage, while maintaining an optimal moisture balance to aid in the formation of granulation tissue and epithelialization
• Formulated with collagen to help control the buildup of bacteria, reducing occurrences of wound infection by layering a barrier between wounds and surrounding bacteria while promoting the spread of antimicrobial agents
• Collagen and EDTA work together to moderate the elevated activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) by targeting and deactivating excess MMPs, triggering the healing process in chronic wounds
• EDTA creates a suitable environment for wound healing by removing zinc to inhibit the activity of MMPs
• Sheets may be trimmed to exact wound size and/or layered for the management of deep wounds
• For use when chronic wounds, such as diabetic uclers, are out-of-balance and need an further advanced dressing to help restart the healing process
• Should not be used on patients with a known allergy or sensitivity to animal-derived collagen, any other ingredient, or on third-degree burns
• Sterile, individually-wrapped sheets
• Not Made with Natural Rubber Latex
