How Collagen Dressing Works?

Collagen Dressings are derived from animal sources like equine (horse), bovine (cattle) or porcine (pig). They encourage the growth of new collagen fibers and granulation tissue at the wound site, resulting in a faster recovery period. Collagen wound dressings come in various forms like pad, gel or powder to perfectly cover different types of wound surfaces. They usually require a secondary dressing to cover themselves. Depending on wound type Collagen dressing needs to be changed every 6-7 days to remain effective.
