Collagen Wound Care Dressings
Collagen Wound Care Dressings – Support Natural Healing for Chronic and Complex Wounds
Collagen dressings are advanced wound care solutions designed to support the body’s natural healing process, particularly in chronic and slow-healing wounds. These dressings are derived from natural or synthetic collagen and help promote the formation of new tissue by stimulating the body’s own collagen production. Ideal for wounds that are stuck in the inflammatory phase, collagen dressings assist in wound debridement and tissue regeneration.
They are especially beneficial for pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, and second-degree burns. Collagen wound dressings also help manage wound moisture while creating a protective environment for healing. Some forms gradually dissolve into the wound bed, while others require removal and replacement during dressing changes.
Available in sheets, gels, powders, and pads, these dressings are suitable for a variety of clinical and home care applications. Medicinal Supplies offers trusted brands known for quality and effectiveness in wound healing.
