What is Helicoll®?
Helicoll® is an acellular dermal matrix derived from bovine Type-1 collagen. Helicoll® is ultra-pure through the patented manufacturing process making it safe for patients of all ages.
Indications
Helicoll® has been proven to effectively treat the following types of wounds:
- Venous ulcers
- Diabetic ulcers
- Pressure ulcers
- Chronic vascular ulcers
- Skin Donor Sites for Grafts
- 2nd Degree Burns
- Trauma wounds: abrasions, lacerations, and skin tears
- Surgical wounds: post-Mohs’ surgery, post-laser surgery, podiatric, wound dehiscence
- Partial and full-thickness wounds
How Does Helicoll® Work?
Helicoll® has been proven to granulate tissue in 4-5 days by creating rapid neo-vascularization. Full molecules of collagen provide up to 3,000 receptor sites for your body’s own growth factors to attach to and begin tissue regeneration. Helicoll® reduces inflammation which helps reduce pain, and kick starts the healing process. Helicoll® has proven to successfully heal wounds of all types and burns, for patients of all ages including those with additional health issues affecting their healing.
Helicoll® Safety Information
Helicoll® has been applied to patients’ tens of thousands of times with no adverse events or reactions. If you have a bovine allergy you may want to discuss this with your physician prior to application of Helicoll® as it is comprised of Bovine collagen.
After Care
Once Helicoll® has been applied, do not disturb the wound or remove Helicoll®. For scheduled dressing changes or weekly follow up, additional layers of Helicoll® can be applied right over any remaining collagen in the wound bed.
