collafleeceĀ®

RESORBABLE COLLAGEN FOR WOUND MANAGEMENT

wet-stableĀ porcine collagen sponge

Natural homeostasis

Maintains integrity

collafleeceĀ® is a wet-stable, porcine collagen sponge with highly efficient hemostatic properties. Its natural porous collagen structure supports the hemostasis and controls the natural healing of the woundĀ 1. Owing to its spongy structure, the collafleeceĀ® resorbs within ~2-4 weeksĀ 2.

FAST HEMOSTASIS AND STABILIZATION OF THE BLOOD CLOT

The efficacy of collafleeceĀ® is based on the well-known characteristics of collagen. The process of blood clotting comprises a complex series of reactions induced by the adhesion of platelets to the collagen fibers, which results in the formation of a thrombus by platelet aggregation. The secretion of coagulation factors is thereby triggered, which initiate further reactions as the formation of a fibrin clot 3-5. The fast clotting reaction through collafleeceĀ® is particularly helpful when treating hemostatic compromised patients 1.

IMPLANTOLOGY, PERIODONTOLOGY AND ORAL AND CMF SURGERY

  • Protection and hemostatic treatment of minor oral wounds
  • Protection of the Schneiderian membrane
  • Covering of biopsy or transplant harvesting sites, as well as bone block harvesting sites
  • Protection and hemostatic treatment after tooth extraction
Shaping

collafleeceĀ® can be cut to the required size with a pair of scissors before application onto the wound or insertion into the wound. Should greater amounts of fleece be required for haemostasis, the excess material must be removed before the wound is closed. Over-packing the wound with collagen should be avoided.

Fixation

A direct fixation of collafleeceĀ® by sutures or pins is not possible, but also mostly not needed. After shaping, the fleece is carefully pressed onto the wound site with a pair of tweezers until the fibrin ensures adhesion of the fleece to the wound site. An indirect fixation by cross- or holding sutures could help to keep the fleece in place when applied in extraction sockets or soft tissue harvesting sites.

Exposure

In case of a dehiscence the wound heals without complications by granulation tissue formation and free contraction. The main problem of an exposure of a collagen membrane is its fast bacterial resorption resulting in loss of the barrier function. As the intention of collafleeceĀ® is not providing a barrier but supporting wound healing and hemostasis, fast resorption in case of open healing is not a problem. Application of a collafleeceĀ® on top of a barrier membrane is recommended in unstable soft tissue situations, or for protection of the wound healing area if a wound dehiscence is expected to occur.

Rehydration

In general, the dry application of collafleeceĀ® is recommended, as rehydration can impair the hemostatic properties of the material. When placed in the defect, the blood is absorbed very quickly while the structural integrity of the material is maintained.

  • Highly efficient hemostatic collagen
  • Fast resorption by enzymatic degradation (2-4 weeks)
  • Easy application
  • Maintains integrity in presence of blood and during application
  • Wound protection/wound healing

SPECIFIC FACTS

collafleeceĀ® is produced in a certified process from the porcine dermis. The unique manufacturing process provides a safe and cell-free product that is regulated according to the EC guidelines. Its natural hemostatic effect and the fast resorption making collafleeceĀ® an excellent medical device for the treatment of oral wounds.

Damage to the blood vessel wall leads to subendothelial collagen release. The collagen directly or indirectly interacts with the surface receptors on thrombocytes. The binding of collagen initiates a reaction cascade leading to transformation and aggregation of the thrombocytes. Additionally, the thrombocytes are cross-linked by fibrinogen. The resulting (white) thrombus initially stabilizes the wound. Accordingly, collagen membranes and sponges support the formation of a blood coagulum and contribute to a rapid stabilization of the wound area. Due to their hemostatic effect, collagen sponges and cones can be used for stabilization of biopsy harvesting sites or covering of minor oral wounds and extraction sockets, respectively.

Medication with anticoagulant drugs (i.e. heparin or warfarin) poses a risk for patients of bleeding following tooth extraction. Local hemostatic agents like collagen fleeces can prevent postoperative bleeding without the need to pause the anticoagulant therapy 1. A retrospective study with 200 anticoagulated patients showed a very low rate of bleedings following application of collagen sponges with a similar composition (collaconeĀ®).

A dry application of collafleeceĀ® is recommended because pre-hydration may impair its hemostatic properties. At the defect site, the fleece soaks up blood very quickly but maintains its integrity. A direct fixation by sutures/pins is not possible, but also not necessary. Indirect fixation, on the other hand, by cross- or holding sutures could help keeping the fleece in place e.g. in extraction sockets or at soft tissue harvesting sites.

collafleeceĀ® is a cost-effective alternative to barrier membranes during sinus floor elevations for the protection of the Schneiderian membrane. It can also be used to protect barrier membranes from fast bacterial resorption when an exposure is likely.
