The first experience of using Russian collagen dressings

Modern management of wounds of various etiologies is a comprehensive approach which includes correction of patient's general somatic state and adequate local treatment strictly corresponding to the stage of wound healing process. In the outpatient unit, it is a local gentle management of wound defects with proper wound coatings that meet various tasks at various stages of wound healing process. One of the problems of modern wound management is stimulation of epithelialization, namely the restoration of subdermal, dermal and epithelial layers. One of the most promising directions in solving this problem is application of collagen, due to its optimal manipulation characteristics, biocompatibility, controlled biodegradation, ability to form complexes with pharmaceuticals as well as to stimulate regeneration. Collagen coatings may be used both independently and in the complex of local treatment when collagen dressings alternate with other interactive dressings. Such an approach ensures high-quality regeneration of wound defects and prevents complications.
