BENEFITS OF AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE

WOUND CLOSURE RATES

Studies have demonstrated that wounds treated with amniotic membrane had a wound closure rate of 62%, compared to 32% with standard care alone.

HEALING TIME

*The median healing time for ulcers treated with amniotic membrane was significantly reduced. For example, one study reported a median healing time of 9 weeks for ulcers treated with amniotic membrane, compared to longer durations with standard care.

REDUCTION IN WOUND SIZE

Wounds treated with amniotic membrane showed a mean reduction in size of 48.1%, whereas those treated with standard care showed a reduction of 19.0%.

RECURRENCE RATES

The recurrence rate of healed ulcers was also lower in patients treated with amniotic membrane. One study showed a recurrence rate of 14.29% in the intervention group versus 83.3% in the control group.

BENEFITS OF AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE

Amniotic membrane treatment was associated with lower infection rates. For instance, one study observed a statistically significant lower infection rate in the group treated with amniotic membrane.

Benefits of Collagen Wraps for Chronic Wounds

Collagen wraps for chronic wounds are an advanced therapeutic option designed to promote faster and more effective healing. These wraps are infused with collagen, a natural protein essential for wound healing, which provides a supportive matrix for new tissue growth. By maintaining a moist wound environment and attracting cells necessary for repair, collagen wraps help reduce healing time, minimize infection risk, and improve overall wound outcomes. Ideal for chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and venous leg ulcers, collagen wraps are a valuable addition to comprehensive wound care management, enhancing patient recovery and quality of life.

Promote Healing

Collagen is a major structural protein in the skin and other tissues. By providing a scaffold similar to the natural extracellular matrix, collagen wraps support the migration and proliferation of fibroblasts and other cells involved in wound healing. This can accelerate the healing process.

Improve Moisture Balance

Collagen dressings often help maintain a moist wound environment, which is crucial for effective healing. A moist environment can facilitate cell migration and reduce the risk of wound desiccation, which can impede healing.

Support New Tissue Formation

Collagen wraps provide a matrix for new tissue formation. As the body regenerates tissue, the collagen in the dressing integrates into the wound bed, helping to support and guide the growth of new tissue.

Reduce Scar Formation

By promoting more organized tissue regeneration and reducing the time a wound remains open, collagen dressings can potentially minimize scarring compared to wounds that heal more slowly or poorly.

Enhance Granulation Tissue Formation

Collagen dressings can stimulate the formation of granulation tissue, which is essential for closing the
wound and facilitating further healing.

Control Inflammation

Some collagen-based products may help modulate the inflammatory response, creating a more favorable environment for healing. This can be particularly useful in chronic wounds, where excessive inflammation can be a barrier to recovery.

Biocompatibility

Collagen dressings are generally well-tolerated by the body, as they are made from a natural substance that the body recognizes. This reduces the risk of adverse reactions or rejection compared to synthetic alternatives.

Ease of Use

Many collagen dressings are designed to be easy to apply and remove, which can be beneficial for both patients and healthcare providers. They often conform well to the wound, making them practical for use in a variety of wound types and locations.
