Unique Collagen Dressings Promote Natural Healing
The Puracol Plus line of wound dressings promote natural healing with type I bovine, native 100% collagen. Our exclusive, gentle manufacturing technology preserves the collagens natural structure, resulting in dressings that provide more collagen to a wound for a longer period of time.
The innovative rope configurations are interesting solutions for tunneling wounds that are difficult to dress because of the tendency of nonbiodegradable dressing materials to be retained in the wound even after their attempted removal.
The Microscaffold Collagen dressings promote natural healing even while the dressing absorbs the wound exudate. When using Puracol Plus Ag+, the silver antimicrobial agent provides a barrier to microbes thus providing additional aid in the natural healing process
Native 100% Collagen - Likely to Last Longer in the Wound
Denatured collagen - commonly used in other wound-care products is chemically processed to the extent that its sophisticated triple helix structure is damaged, which seems to affect the dressings structural integrity in any fluid substance. 3,4,5 The preservation of the triple helix is essential in maintaining the proper structure (nativity) of collagen.
Puracol Plus and Puracol Plus Ag+ feature a unique three-dimensional structure known as the MicroScaffold. 6 Puracol Plus native collagen is less likely to immediately convert to a jelly-like paste or be absorbed by the secondary dressing. If collagen dressings solubilize (biodegrade) between dressing changes, they cannot exert their natural healing properties.
Sensitive analytical tests using well-established methods(figs. 1A and 1B) and microscopic techniques (figs. 2A and 2B) show that Puracol Plus and Puracol Plus Ag+ retain their triple helical structure (nativity) better than other denatured (damaged) collagen-based products.
