How do Puracol Collagen Dressings Support Wound Healing?
One key factor of chronic wounds is an elevated level of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). At elevated levels, MMPs break down necrotic tissue as well as viable collagen produced during the wound healing process. Puracol wound dressings promote natural healing with highly native type 1 collagen. This collagen supports the formation of new blood vessels, promoting the growth of granulation tissue, aiding in the removal of damaged tissue (debridement), and facilitating the wound's ability to re-epithelize or develop a new epithelial layer.
