Description
Collexa is a primary dressing that is applied to exudating wounds. It can be cut to fit the wound and used in combination with other semi-occlusive or non-occlusive secondary dressings. The CollaCare sponge is derived from a natural source of purified type 1 collagen. The polyurethane foam layer serves to effectively absorb and act as a reservoir for wound fluid for exudating wounds.
Collexa is an advanced bi-layer wound care device for heavily exuding wounds, comprised of a layer of lyophilized collagen sponge containing 2.8 mg/cm2 of renatured bovine collagen and a backing layer of absorbent polyurethane foam. The biodegradable collagen matrix provides a scaffold for cellular invasion and capillary growth, while the polyurethane foam layer acts as a reservoir absorbing unwanted wound fluids. Collexa can absorb greater than ten times its own weight in wound fluids.

Collexa may be used for the management of wounds including diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, ulcers caused by mixed vascular etiologies, full thickness & partial thickness wounds, abrasions, traumatic wounds, 1st and 2nd degree burns, dehisced surgical wounds.
