collafleece®

RESORBABLE COLLAGEN FOR WOUND MANAGEMENT

collafleece® is a wet-stable, porcine collagen sponge with highly efficient hemostatic properties. Its natural porous collagen structure supports the hemostasis and controls the natural healing of the wound. Owing to its spongy collagen structure, the collafleece® resorbs within ~2-4 weeks.

FAST HEMOSTASIS AND STABILIZATION OF THE BLOOD CLOT

The efficacy of collafleece®e is based on the well-known characteristics of collagen. The process of blood clotting comprises a complex series of reactions induced by the adhesion of platelets to the collagen fibers, which results in the formation of a thrombus by platelet aggregation. The secretion of coagulation factors is thereby triggered, which initiate further reactions as the formation of a fibrin clot [1,2,3]. The fast clotting reaction through collafleece® is particularly helpful when treating hemostatic compromised patients [4].
