Biocol & Biopad Wound Healing
BIOCOL
Deliver collagen precisely where it’s needed.
BIOCOL™ is a bovine collagen powder in an advanced accordion dispenser to deliver collagen precisely where you need it to promote a moist wound healing environment.
Benefits:
• Advanced accordion dispenser delivers collagen exactly where it is needed
• BIOCOL contains 100% hydrolyzed collagen prepared from TYPE I collagen
• Supplies nutritive proteins and amino acids directly to the wound site
• Easily reaches deep into tunneling or undermined wounds
BIOPAD
Accelerate wound healing with the power of pure collagen.
BIOPAD™ is a primary dressing composed of 100% native equine Type I collagen that can accelerate the closure of hard-to-heal wounds.
Benefits:
• Type I collagen of equine origin that keeps its native structure.1
• Protects the wound bed from the outer environment, constituting a barrier against exogenous infective agents.
• Stimulates the formation of new granulation tissue, the proliferation of fibroblasts, and the deposition of new collagen fibers.1,2
• Absorbs wound exudate and can control minor bleeding.
