DermaCol/Ag Silver Collagen Matrix Wound Dressing is a sophisticated healing solution designed to cater to a wide range of wound care needs. Its highly absorbent materials composed of collagen, sodium alginate, carboxyl methylcellulose (CMC), and other agents work synergistically to promote a conducive healing environment. This innovative dressing transforms into a gel upon contact with exudate, maintaining a moist environment that supports the healing process. DermaCol/Ag Collagen Matrix Dressing with Silver is infused with antimicrobial silver chloride, it offers the added benefit of preventing microbial colonization within the dressing.
Key Features and Benefits
- Made of collagen, sodium alginate, carboxyl methylcellulose, ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA), and silver chloride
- Advanced collagen-silver formula encourages optimal healing conditions.
- EDTA component effectively removes zinc to inhibit MMP activity, protecting against wound breakdown.
- Collagen matrix targets MMPs, thereby safeguarding the developing granulation tissue.
- Highly absorbent CMC and sodium alginate manage excess exudate to maintain proper moisture balance.
- Dual MMP inhibition contributes to the healing of chronic wounds and the promotion of granulation.
- Creates and maintains a moist wound environment vital for granulation tissue formation and epithelialization.
