Chronic wounds stalled in the inflammatory phase are found to have abnormally high levels of matrix metalloproteases (MMP’s)¹. Because collagen dressings are proven to reduce MMP activity, an optimal healing environment is produced and the body can complete the healing process.

Wound healing is a dynamic process. Wounds should be re-assessed as directed by your healthcare provider, and new short-term objectives established.

Ability of chronic wound fluids to degrade peptide growth factors is associated with increased levels of elastase activity and diminished levels of proteinase inhibitors.
