Vitále Collagen Dressings are absorbent wound dressings made of type 1 100% collagen intended for the management of minimally to heavily exuding acute and chronic wounds and control of minor bleeding. Vitále Collagen Dressings form a gel on contact with exudates that provides a moist, physiologically favourable environment to support wound healing. Vitále Collagen Dressings are applied directly to the wound to absorb exudate and exudate components that may impair wound healing, and to control minor bleeding.
Vitále Collagen Dressings offer a comprehensive solution for wound care, supporting the body's natural healing process while effectively managing exudate and minor bleeding. These dressings are ideal for both clinical and home care settings, providing reliable wound management for various wound types.
Features & Benefits

- High Absorbency: Effectively absorbs and retains exudates, managing wound moisture levels and reducing the risk of maceration.
- Controls Minor Bleeding: Ideal for managing post-debridement bleeding and other minor bleeding events.
- Sterile and Safe: Each dressing is sterilized by gamma radiation and packaged in a single-use, sterile packet, ensuring a safe and hygienic application.
