Collagen-based dressings are advanced wound dressings that provide an extracellular matrix to support tissue and microcirculation growth. Collagen dressings are able to change the wound biochemistry through modulation of protease activity, creating an environment more favourable for healing (Level 1). Oxidised regenerated cellulose (ORC) is commonly combined with collagen to create a collagen-based composite dressing with enhanced ability to...
