Collagen Dressings. Collagen dressings are meant for wounds with minimal to heavy exudates and also partial- and full-thickness wounds. They stimulate new tissue growth and help to heal necrotic wounds, skin grafts and second-degree burns. Most collagen dressings have antimicrobial agents incorporated to limit spread of infections.
Collagen occurs throughout the body, but especially in the skin, bones, and connective tissues. Some types of collagen fibrils, gram-for-gram, are stronger than steel. Collagen production declines with age and exposure to factors such as smoking and UV light. Collagen can be used in collagen dressings, to attract new skin cells to wound sites. Cosmetic lotions that claim to increase collagen levels are unlikely to do so, as collagen molecules are too large to be absorbed through the skin.
