When to use collagen Hydro Gel?

 As the name suggests is a water-based gel used for external wounds, especially for Autolytic debridement which is also called bedsores. This is a primary type of dressing that should be changed after 48 hours. It works by giving moisture to dry and dehydrated wounds so that medicine can pass through dead skin cells and heal the wound. This can also be used for 1st-degree burns which works by removing the outer layer of the burnt skin so that the medicine can pass through the skin.  It is sterile and for single use only.  

How to apply? 

  • Debride the wound bed to ensure the wound is free of debris and necrotic tissue 

  • Wash the Wound Bed with Normal Saline 

  • Apply a generous coating of SYNERHEAL GEL to cover the wound site 

  • Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing 

The contraindication of the gel is third-degree burns and individual sensitivity to bovine-derived materials. The Benefits of the hydrogel are: 

-Promotes Autolytic Debridement and healing  

-Rehydrates dry wounds and Eschar  

-Maintains Moist wound healing Environment  

-Easy to apply   

It is used for: 

  • Pressure ulcers (Stages I to IV)  

  • Venous stasis ulcers  

  • Superficial scrapes  

  • First and Second-Degree burns  

  • Partial-thickness and full-thickness wounds  

  • Tunneling Wounds  

  • Scar and Stretch marks  

Hydro Gel is the right medicine for advanced wound healing. It has been proven effective for Autolytic Debridement which is also called bedsores. It can also be venous leg ulcers.

How to use Collagen dressing for external wounds?

  Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and is a major component of the extracellular matrix (ECM). It is comprised of three polypeptide chains that are rich in hydroxy-proline amino acids and are twisted together into a triple-helical structure. Over 20 different types of collagens have been identified in humans; the main types are type I, II, and III; and together they make up 80% of the body’s collagen. Type I and III are important for wound healing.   In a healing wound, a cascade of events occurs and is broken into what is known as the phases of wound healing. These include platelet accumulation, inflammation, fibroblast proliferation, cell contraction, angiogenesis and re-epithelialization. This cascade ultimately leads to scar formation and wound remodeling . Collagen plays an important role in each of these phases of wound healing due to its chemotactic role. It attracts cells such as fibroblasts and keratinocytes to the wound. This encourages ...

How to get rid of diabetic foot ulcers?

  A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound that occurs in approximately 15 percent of patients with diabetes and is commonly located on the bottom of the foot. Of those who develop a foot ulcer, six percent will be hospitalized due to infection or other ulcer-related complications.    Foot ulcers can be caused by vascular disease, namely chronic venous insufficiency (venous ulcers), Peripheral Arterial Disease (arterial ulcers), and nerve damage.    Diabetic ulcers are the most common foot injuries leading to lower extremity amputation. Family physicians have a pivotal role in preventing or early diagnosis of diabetic foot complications. Management of the diabetic foot requires a thorough knowledge of the major risk factors for amputation, frequent routine evaluation, and meticulous preventive maintenance. When diabetes is not well controlled, long-term complications can develop and affect many different areas of the body. Uncontrolled blood sugar can caus...
