ABSTRACT:
A tissue adhesive compound which may be a powder, gel, paste or film. The main ingredient is hydrolyzed Type I collagen having a molecular weight between 1,000 and 10,000. The collagen is preferably derived from a bovine source, especially calves under one year of age. The gel form preferably includes 60% hydrolyzed Type I collagen, and has anti-microbial properties not found in the powder form. In any form, the compound is administered to the cleaned wound site where it absorbs exudate, provides physical barrier to bacterial infestation, reduces pain and expedites wound healing. Removal of any compound remaining is unnecessary in subsequent dressing changes.
