How is Collagen Powder applied to wounds?
- The Collagen Powder is very versatile because it can be applied to deep and penetrating wounds, in which it is difficult to obtain adequate contact with the surface to absorb the exudate from the wound.
- To absorb the exudate from a wound, the contents of a sachet are sprinkled over the wound area. The wound can then be covered with secondary coverage.
Application:
- Rinse the wound
- Apply another medication to the wound, if necessary
- Apply the powder to the surface of the wound in a layer of approximately 1/4 inch
Note: Do not wrap the wound too tight, which would prevent the collagen fibrils from expanding
Removal:
- Change the product as indicated, according to the amount of drainage from the wound, and the instructions offered in the secondary dressing covering the Powder
- After removing the secondary dressing, repeat the steps included in “Product Application” as necessary
Precautions:
- Not recommended for patients who are allergic to materials derived from bovine animals (eg milk, meat or leather)
- Discontinue use of this product and notify your doctor if there is persistent pain, bleeding, blistering, swelling and redness
- Avoid contact with eyes, if this occurs, rinse eyes immediately with water
