"I wish my doctor knew about collagen when I had my earlier Mohs surgery."

Regenerative medicine is a hot topic in the medical field today. So, it’s no surprise that collagen is the latest therapy being leveraged to stimulate the body’s own natural healing process. After all, one third of the proteins in our body is collagen. It’s in our bones, muscles, blood and most importantly, our skin. It’s what makes our skin elastic and stretchy. And when skin is wounded, it’s our collagen that puts it back together.

Collagen encourages cellular migration which is essential to the body healing itself. Collagen also encourages the production of fibroblasts that contributes to the formation of connective tissue and stimulates new tissue growth enhancing wound closure and improving the overall cosmetic appearance.

The Basics of Healing a Wound

Collagen's Role in Wound Care

  • Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body.
  • 90% of the dermis is composed of type 1 collagen.
  • The body produces collagen via the fibroblasts when healing itself
  • Collagen enhances the wound contracture and cellular migration.
  • Collagen powder compliments the natural process.

    • Collagen Scaffolding

  • Necessary for cell migration
  • Extracellular matrix depends on normal scaffolding formation.
  • Collagen based wound dressings are uniquely suited to act as a “sacrificial substrate” in the wound for fibroblasts to more rapidly heal wounds.

    • Characteristics of Topical Collagen

  • Promotes autolytic debridement
  • Does not support bacterial growth
  • Extremely low hypersensitivity
  • Soothing to the wound
  • Compatible for any wound type
  • No need to remove

    • CompleteMD Collagen Matrix

  • 100% Type 1 Bovine Collagen
  • Non-Hydrolyzed Native Collagen
  • Biodegradable & Biocompatible
  • Maintains a Moist Wound Environment
  • Effective in all Wound Phases
  • No Additives, Synthetics or fillers
  • FDA Cleared for: Full Thickness Post-Surgical Wounds

    • Why is Non-Hydrolyzed Important?

    Characteristics of Topical Collagen

    • Retains more native triple helical protein structure
    • Allows for better stability of the molecule and scaffolding in wound healing
    • Lends itself to maximum exudate management

    Hydrolyzed collagen means the collagen has been broken down into its component amino acids, Glycine, Proline, & Hydroxyproline, and no longer retains its native triple Helical structure.

    • Each gram absorbs 40-60x its weight in fluid.
    • Contributes up to 10x more non-denatured collagen protein than competing hydrolyzed collagen products.
    • The retained native helical structure enhances the vital “scaffolding” process for the Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM), promoting the formation of “throughways” that allow for the re-routing of circulatory structures and the development of granulation tissue.
    • Supplied in 1-gram packets for convenient application and dispensing.
