Collagen Sheets

Colloskin is a sterile collagen in sheet form and is crafted from bovine source. Colloskin's use has been widely accepted for biological wound dressing especially for burns. It is highly effective for patients including those with HIV and hepatitis infections.

Indications :

• Ideal for Non-infective 2nd degree burns,
• Superficial & deep dermal burns
• For 3rd Degree burns as a temporary cover
• Traumatic loss of skin cover.
• Temperary wound cover in major open fracture wound
• Skin donor sites

Directions for Use :

• Throughly clean and denude areas to dliminate external contamination.
• Throughly debride infected wound.
• Take out the collagen sheet from the preserving medium and squeeze it to remove the excess preserving medium adhered to the colloskin.
• Take a trough and fill it with sterile saline water and rinse the colloskin throughly 2-3 times to remove the alcohol (preserving medium).
• Apply the sheet firmly on the wound and remove the air bubbles trapped if any for effective adhesion.
• For best results avoid second dressing over colloskin.
• As epitheliasation occurs, colloskin sheet peels off.
• Colloskin promotes healthy granulation in deep wounds for early grafting.
• Repeated dressing not required unless colloskin is rejected due to underlying pus or complication.
• For skin donor sites, colloskin must be applied after achieving satisfactory hemostasis.
• For chronic skin ulcers, 2 to 3 applications of coloskin or more in 2-3 day intervals must be repeated after thorough cleaning each time, thus enhancing healing.
• In cases where the adhered collokin has to be removed from the wound, a saline, moist pad can be applied over colloskin for a few minutes to facilitate easy removal.

Advantages :
Widely accepted for biological wound dressing especially for burns

• Single application on clean wounds.
• Prevents infection
• Instant pain relief
• Quick and firm adherence
• Allows skin to breath
• Preserves local heat
• Stimulates healthy granulation

Sizes available : 5cms x 5cms, 10cms x 10cms, 10cms x 25cms, 15 x30 cms and as per customer requirement.

Diacoll is a collagen Gentamicin sheet in the form of a sponge/transparent flim containing collagen and gentamicin sulphate. The collagen gentamicin implant is composed of highly purified type – I collagen obtained from bovine Tendon, which acts as a vehicle for the antimicrobial gentamicin. The collagen is derived from specifically controlled and certified animals and is highly purified to avoid any antiginicity. Gentamicin sulphate is a wide spectrum antibiotic that provides highly effective topical treatment in primary and secondary bacterial infections of the skin. Diacoll^TM is produced using the latest triple helix collagen technique to provide an optimum degree of flexibility and rigidity combined with the most predictable resorptive process.

Mechanism of Action :
Diacoll^TM comprises of a collagen foam incoproated with gentamicin sulphate. When applied on teh wound the collagen foam acts as a vehicle for the antimicrobial gentamicin. Collagen is absorbed slowly by the tissue in 6 to 10 days after is application. The purpose of the implant is to provide a high concentration of local gentamicin at the site of implantation. The Diacoll^TM comes prepacked and sterile and is intended for single use only.

Indications :

• Diabetic foot ulcers.
• Orthopedic surgery.
• Treatment of osteomylitis and soft tissue infections.
• Abdominal wound infections.

Directions for use :

• In all cases standard established sterile surgical procedure must be observed.
• Diacoll^TM should be cut to the desired size to ideally extend 2-3mm beyond the edge of teh defect (s).
• The sheet once wet with blood tends to adapt extremely well to the bone/tissue walls.

Applications of Diacoll^TM implant on first day.

• Prepare the wound bed : Change and dispose of the old dressing in a safe, careful and appropriate manner.
• Accomplish appropriate wound debriment.
  
  • Irrigate the wound gently and carefully with sterile saline water until wound is free of debris, necrotic slough etc.
  • Gently blot wound edges and peri-wound margins dry.
• Apply Diacoll^TM
  • Take the appropriate size of the Diacoll^TM cut open the sterile pouch.
  • Cut the Diacoll^TM According to the shape of the wound and apply it to the wound surface.
  • When applied to the wound surface it tends of adapt extremely well to the bone / tissue walls.
• Wound care dressing : The area may be covered with gauze dressing if desired.

Precautions & Comments :

• Wounds may appear larger during first several days of treatment due to reduction of edema.
• An increase in drainage may be seen in the first several days of treatement.
• Treatment of the underlying conditons (Venous or arterial flow, external pressure as well as nturitional support should proceed concurrently with the use of Diacoll^TM.
• Avoid patient hypersensitive to collagen, Gentamicin.
• A transient burning sensation may be experienced by a small percentage of patients.

How supplied : Diacoll^TM implant is supplied in the following sizesin a gamma sterilized pouch.

Sizes Available : 5cm x 5cm, 10cm x 10cm, 15cm x 30cm, 15cm x 65cm
