  2. Collagen induction therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen_induction_therapy

    PRP is derived from the patient's own blood and may contain growth factors that increase collagen production. [3] It can be applied topically to the entire treatment area during and after collagen induction therapy treatments or injected intradermally to scars. Efficacy of the combined treatments remains in question pending scientific studies ...

    Natural purified collagen: Natural purified collagen: Polyglycolic acid: Polyester and poly (p-dioxanone) Adsorption rate and tensile strength: Strength retention for at least 7 days. Maintains strength for 10–14 days [2] 84% at 2 weeks, 23% at 4 weeks [2] 80% at 2 weeks, 44% at 8 weeks. Complete absorption within 200 days [2] Structure ...

  4. Collagen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen

    Collagen is used as a natural wound dressing because it has properties that artificial wound dressings do not have. It resists bacteria, which is vitally important in wound dressing. As a burn dressing, collagen helps it heal fast by helping granulation tissue to grow over the burn.

  5. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.

  6. Catgut suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catgut_suture

    Catgut suture is a type of surgical suture made of twisted strands of purified collagen taken from the small intestine of domesticated ruminants or beef tendon. It is naturally degraded by the body's own proteolytic enzymes. Full tensile strength remains for at least 7 days, and absorption is complete by 90 days. This eventual disintegration ...

  7. Copper peptide GHK-Cu - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_peptide_GHK-Cu

    In humans, GHK-Cu is proposed to promote wound healing, attraction of immune cells, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, stimulation of collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin fibroblasts and promotion of blood vessels growth. Recent studies revealed its ability to modulate expression of a large number of human genes, generally ...

  8. Type I collagen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_I_collagen

    Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen of the human body, consisting of around 90% of the body's total collagen in vertebrates. Due to this, it is also the most abundant protein type found in all vertebrates. Type I forms large, eosinophilic fibers known as collagen fibers, which make up most of the rope-like dense connective tissue in ...

  9. Hydrogel dressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogel_dressing

    Hydrogel dressing is a medical dressing based on hydrogels, three-dimensional hydrophilic structure. [1] The insoluble hydrophilic structures absorb polar wound exudates and allow oxygen diffusion at the wound bed to accelerate healing. [2]
