Cologenesis Colloskin Collagen Sheet Dressing is a sterile collagen in sheet form and is crafted from bovine source. Colloskin's use has been widely accepted for biological wound dressing, especially for burns. It is highly effective for patients including those with HIV and hepatitis infections.
Uses:
Ideal for non-infective 2nd degree burns, superficial and deep dermal burns
For 3rd degree burns as a temporary cover
Traumatic loss of skin cover
Temporary wound cover in major open fracture wound
Skin donor sites
Product Features And Specifications:
It has antibacterial properties which help in preventing infections
Provides quick and firm adhesion while allowing the skin to breathe
Preserves local heat and stimulates healthy granulation
Colloskin promotes healthy granulation in deep wounds for early grafting
It is durable, flexible and disposable
It is sterilised by gamma irradiation
Contains collagen sheet in preserving medium consisting of isopropyl alcohol and water
Directions For Use:
Thoroughly clean and denuded areas to eliminate external contamination
Thoroughly debride infected wounds
Take out the collagen sheet from the preserving medium and squeeze it to remove the excess preserving medium adhered to the colloskin
Take a trough and fill it with sterile saline water and rinse the colloskin thoroughly 2-3 times to remove the alcohol (preserving medium)
Apply the sheet firmly on the wound and remove the air bubbles trapped if any for effective adhesion
For best results avoid second dressing over colloskin
As epithelialization occurs, colloskin sheet peels off
Repeated dressing is not required unless colloskin is rejected due to underlying pus or complication
For skin donor sites, colloskin must be applied after achieving satisfactory hemostasis
For chronic skin ulcers, 2 to 3 applications of coloskin or more in 2-3 day intervals must be repeated after thorough cleaning each time, thus enhancing healing
In cases where the adhered collokin has to be removed from the wound, saline, the moist pad can be applied over colloskin for a few minutes to facilitate easy removal
Safety Information:
Do not re-use
Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight
