ColActive Plus Collagen Dressing

ColActive Plus Collagen Dressing

An advanced wound care dressing, ColActive Plus is formulated with a patented blend of collagen, sodium alginate, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Once it comes in contact with the wound fluid, this topically applied dressing transforms into a soft gel sheet that helps create a moist environment for healing, including the formation of granulation tissue and epithelialization.

How it Works
Once a ColActive Plus dressing is in place, the EDTA removes zinc to inhibit the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). This unique combination:

• Helps the wound maintain a consistent pH level without altering plasma proteins, growth factors, and other cell types key for healing.
• Prevents the formation of and breaks up existing biofilms.
• Uses a fish-based collagen source, as opposed to bovine.
• Absorbs up to 20 times its weight in drainage fluid while maintaining an optimal moisture balance for wound closure, thanks to the CMC and alginate.

How to Use ColActive Plus Collagen Dressing

1. Debride and irrigate the wound bed with an appropriate wound cleanser or distilled water before application.
2. Cut the dressing to fit the exact wound size. For heavily exudating wounds, apply the dressings directly to the wound bed. For dry wounds with very little exudate, moisten the wound bed with distilled water to begin the gelling process.
3. Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing. Change dressings daily or as directed by your healthcare professional.

To Remove

1. Remove the secondary dressing with care. Gently remove ColActive Plus, ensuring that the dressing removal does not damage any newly formed tissues.
2. Use an appropriate wound cleanser or distilled water to cleanse the wound site prior to applying a new ColActive Plus dressing, as per application instructions.
