The dressings were developed to maintain a moist microenvironment that is conducive to granulation tissue formation, epithelialization, and rapid wound healing. The matrix is a freeze-dried composite that consists of 55% collagen and 45% oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC).
- Composed of balanced combination of collagen, oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC)
- Maintain moist environment
PROMOGRAN™ Matrix modulates and re-balances the wound environment by the unique combination of:
- Binding and inactivation of proteases (i.e. matrix metallo proteases, elastase and plasmin) which have been shown to be detrimental in excess chronic wounds
- Binding and protection of naturally occurring growth factors against degradation by these excecess proteases.
The naturally occurring, protected growth factors are released back into the wound, while the detrimental proteases remain upon bio-degradation of the PROMOGRAN™ Matrix. PROMOGRAN™ Matrix has demonstrated free radical scavenging properties.
Indications for use
Intended for the management of all wounds healing by secondary intention which are clear of necrotic tissue, including:
- Diabetic ulcers
- Venous ulcers
- Pressure ulcers
- Ulcers caused by mixed vascular aetiologies
- Traumatic and surgical wounds
- Can be used under compression therapy
