The collagen sponge dressing is a white to off-white, absorbent, porous, sponge-like collagen matrix intended for wound management. The dressing provides a physiologically favourable moist wound environment. When interacting with the wound fluid, the product immediately begins to absorb the exudates. The collagen sponge dressing is applied directly to the secreting wound and protects the wound bed and delicate new tissue. In addition, the device, being comprised of hydrophilic collagen, has intrinsic homeostatic properties, which can be used to control minor bleeding.

INDICATIONS FOR USE: The collagen sponge dressing is indicated for the management of moderately to heavily exuding wounds and to control minor bleeding. The collagen sponge dressing may be used for the management of exuding wounds such as: pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, diabetic ulcers, acute wounds, e.g., trauma and surgical wounds, and partial-thickness burns.

DIRECTIONS: (For use under the guidance of a healthcare professional).

TO APPLY:

1. Cleanse the wound, apply medication to the wound if indicated.
2. Ensure the intact skin surrounding the wound is dry.
3. Apply the dressing to the entire wound surface. The dressing can be hydrated using sterile saline or other isotonic solution.
4. Cover with an absorbent dressing.

CHANGING THE DRESSING:

1. The dressing should be changed as indicated by the amount of drainage (for example, if drainage seeps through the back of the dressing, or if the edge of the dressing becomes loose), and instructions provided with the absorbent cover dressing.
2. Remove the cover dressing.
3. Cleanse the wound.
4. Dry surrounding intact skin
5. Repeat product application step three listed above as needed. Do not reuse or reseal.
6. Discard open packaging and unused product.

NOTE : As healing occurs, sections of the collagen sponge dressing may gradually peel and may be removed during dressing changes. Do not forcibly remove sections that may adhere to the wound. Alternatively, the product may form a gel, which can be rinsed away with gentile irrigation. On inspection if the product is no longer covering the wound, place an additional piece of the collagen sponge dressing over the wound.
