ABSTRACT:
A method and composition for treating biopsy wounds in human patients is provided. The process involves filling the wound with a disc of collagenous material coated with elastine, with the disc of material being of a size to substantially fill the biopsy wound. The collagenous material is preferably derived from the skin of hoofed animals such as calves, sheep and pigs. The disc is combined with a microporous top layer, preferably polyether urethane.
This combination is easy to apply and leads to hemostasis, improved wound healing and less wound contraction and scarring.
