Collagen Alginate Wound Dressing - Sterile White Square for Chronic Wound Care

Advanced Collagen Alginate Dressing for Chronic and Acute Wound Management

This professional-grade sterile collagen dressing represents an advanced wound care solution engineered to restart the healing process in chronic, stalled wounds. Upon contact with wound exudate, this innovative dressing transforms into a soothing gel that maintains optimal moisture balance, controls bacterial buildup, and modulates elevated matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity—addressing the underlying biochemical imbalances that prevent chronic wounds from healing.

Advanced Wound Healing Technology

• Gel-Forming Action: Transforms into a cool, soothing gel upon contact with wound drainage, creating an optimal moist wound environment that promotes granulation tissue formation and epithelialization while enhancing patient comfort
• Multi-Component Formulation: Precisely engineered blend of collagen, sodium alginate, carboxylmethylcellulose (CMC), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) delivers synergistic wound healing benefits
• Superior Absorption Capacity: Alginate and CMC components work together to absorb wound exudate effectively while maintaining the critical moisture balance necessary for tissue regeneration and cellular migration
• MMP Modulation: Collagen and EDTA collaborate to target and deactivate excess matrix metalloproteinases, addressing the elevated protease activity that characterizes chronic, non-healing wounds and triggering the transition to active healing
• Antimicrobial Barrier: Collagen component helps control bacterial proliferation by creating a protective barrier between the wound bed and surrounding bacteria while promoting the distribution of antimicrobial agents throughout the wound site
• EDTA Zinc Chelation: EDTA removes zinc ions to inhibit MMP activity, creating a biochemically favorable environment that supports the natural wound healing cascade in previously stalled wounds

Comprehensive Clinical Indications

Indicated for management of full-thickness and partial-thickness wounds including pressure ulcers (stages II-IV), diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, mixed vascular etiology ulcers, donor sites, skin graft sites, surgical dehiscence, traumatic wounds healing by secondary intention, abrasions, lacerations, first-degree burns, and second-degree burns. Particularly effective for chronic wounds that have stalled in the inflammatory phase and require advanced intervention to restart the healing process.

Versatile Application and Sizing

Sterile white square sheets can be easily trimmed to match exact wound dimensions, ensuring complete coverage without waste. For deep cavity wounds, tunneling wounds, or undermined areas, multiple sheets may be layered to fill dead space completely, maintaining contact with the entire wound bed and preventing premature closure of superficial tissue before deeper structures heal.

Infection Control and Patient Comfort

The cool, soothing gel formation provides immediate comfort upon application, reducing pain and irritation associated with dressing changes. The collagen-based antimicrobial barrier reduces the risk of wound infection by limiting bacterial access to vulnerable tissue while supporting the body's natural immune response. Sterile, individually-wrapped packaging ensures aseptic technique and prevents contamination prior to use.

Ideal for Chronic Wound Management

Specifically formulated for use when chronic wounds—particularly diabetic ulcers, pressure injuries, and venous ulcers—are biochemically out-of-balance and require advanced dressing technology beyond standard moisture-retentive dressings. This collagen alginate formulation addresses the elevated protease activity, bacterial burden, and moisture imbalance that prevent chronic wounds from progressing through normal healing stages.

Professional Healthcare Applications

Essential for wound care clinics, hospital wound care teams, long-term care facilities, home health agencies, podiatry practices, vascular surgery centers, burn units, and skilled nursing facilities. Appropriate for use by certified wound care specialists, nurses, physicians, and trained caregivers managing complex wound cases requiring advanced therapeutic intervention.

Safety and Contraindications

Not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring safe use for patients and healthcare providers with latex sensitivities. Should not be used on patients with known allergies or sensitivities to animal-derived collagen or any other ingredient in the formulation. Not indicated for third-degree burns where full-thickness tissue destruction has occurred. Consult wound care protocols and physician orders before initiating treatment.

FSA/HSA Eligible

This advanced wound dressing qualifies for purchase using Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) funds, making it an accessible solution for patients managing chronic wound care expenses and reducing out-of-pocket costs for essential medical supplies.
