Collagen dressings stimulate new tissue growth and encourage the deposition and organization of newly formed collagen fibers and granulation tissue in the wound bed. These dressings chemically bind to matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) found in the extracellular fluid of wounds.
Collagen-based dressings stimulate specific cells that positively affect wound healing. The choice of a collagen dressing depends on the wound itself, as well as cost, collagen type, and other factors such as anti-infective, anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, and analgesic properties.

Collagen dressings are sheets, pads, particle and gels derived from bovine, equine, porcine or avian sources. These dressings encourage the deposition and organization of newly formed collagen fibers and granulation tissue in the wound bed.
Collagen dressings can provide anti-infective, anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, and analgesic properties and promote angiogenesis, returning the body to its normal state and function and providing a foundation for wound healing.
