Brief Description

Description :

First of its kind in India, the developed collagen based biomaterials are suitable for wound care and pain reduction at a very competitive and affordable price. These are natural, non-immunogenic, nonpyrogenic, sterile, temporary biological skin covers with bacterial barrier properties for burns, open raw wounds and other skin complications with shelf life 2-5 years. Compared to other conventional dressing, collagen based wound dressings provide many benefits, the important ones are: faster recovery, single application, immediate pain relief, less likelihood of complications, less time and efforts for the doctor and paramedical staff, reduced need of fluids/electrolytes/albumins lost from the wound, the barrier protection from the infection at wound site, nonpurchase of multiple antibiotics and saving in the cost of analgesics
