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, or first- and second-degree burns
Cool, soothing effect of gelling action enhances patient comfort
Made from collagen, sodium alginate, carboxyl methylcellulose (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 the exact wound size and/or layered for the management of deep wounds
For use when chronic wounds, such as diabetic ulcers, are out-of-balance and need an additional advanced dressing to help restart the healing process
Should not be used on patients with a known allergy or sensitivity to animal-derived collagen or any other ingredient
