Collasate™ Postoperative Dressing is a medical hydrolysate of Type I collagen in gel form. Collasate™ is an all-natural product containing Type I collagen and water. There are no alcohol, preservatives or synthetic substances in Collasate™.
Unlike other collagen products, which are made from native collagen, Collasate™ is a patented product manufactured from a proprietary process which creates a product of a specified molecular weight. Native collagen must be processed by the body before it can be utilized in the healing process. Because of the molecular structure of the collagen in Collasate™, it is immediately available to enhance the body�s own natural healing process.
Collagen interacts with the surgical or trauma site at every stage of healing. It acts as a tissue adhesive, helps to prevent bacterial infection, protects the site from mechanical insult and reduces the potential for scarring.
�Collagen provides a matrix for cellular colonization and subsequent connective tissue formation.�
Collasate™ is easy to handle and conforms to any site. It reduces pain and is soothing and deodorizing. And Collasate™ can be used on any type animal, including birds and reptiles.
Collasate™ has no known contraindications. Collasate™ is safe to use. It is cleared for dental use as well as surgical and trauma treatment exterior use. It will not harm an animal if they lick it off. But most animals leave it in place simply because it occludes nerve endings which signal pain and itching.
�€� Collasate™ is a medical hydrolysate of Type I collagen manufactured with a patented process resulting in a truly unique product.
��€� The hydrolyzed collagen in Collasate™ produces matrix forming capabilities for cellular colonization and subsequent connective tissue formation on treated tissue surfaces1. Collasate™ also has tissue adhesive properties; collagen supplies nutritive protein directly to the site.
�€� Dressing changes are simple and non-invasive. Additional debridement is not required; Collasate™ remaining in the site during dressing changes need not be removed.
�€� Collasate™ occludes nerve endings, minimizing the pain associated with the surgical or wound site, including post-surgical debridement.
�€�Collasate™ protects the site from mechanical insult by the formation of a semi-occlusive gelatinous barrier.
�€� Collasate™ conforms to any site; it can be used in difficult surgical and wound sites. It is particularly helpful in managing difficult wounds such as tunneled wounds, flaps and other non-conformative sites.
�€� Collasate™ helps to remove bacteria and debris as well as absorb wound fluids.
��€� Collasate™ is an excellent wound deodorizer.
�€� Collasate™ is all-natural with no additives or preservatives and has no known contraindications.
�€� Collasate™ forms a semi-occlusive film when left to air-dry on superficial wound surfaces.�
�€� The manufacturing of Collasate™ requires that native collagen be processed to a controlled, specific molecular weight. This processing creates a high quality product which is readily available for use by the body in the natural healing process and which results in the consistent promotion of rapid healing.
�€� Collasate™ is not subjected to product degradation by heat in the manufacturing process as is native collagen.
�€� Collasate™ can be stored at controlled room temperature.
