Collagen peptide in surgical tapes, stitches and surgical glue.
Surgical glues are used to close wounds. If you have a minor cut, you can clean the wound and cover it with a bandage. However, if the wound is deep and severe, there are other methods to close the wounds such as surgical tapes, stitches or surgical glue.Scars of wounds after dermal injuries are a problem in existing therapies. Collagen-based surgical adhesives can solve this problem and collagen has various benefits over synthetic polymers.
Collagen based dressing is used for the treatment of acute and chronic wound closure.
Collagen peptide heals wound
Collagen is the most abundant protein of the skin found in the dermis constituting more than 70% of the skin. Also, 30% of the total body protein is collagen.
Collagen therefore has good compatibility with living tissues and promotes cellular regeneration. Collagen is also better in wound healing because of the uniform size of collagen fibrils thus improving dermal collagen’s architecture.
Collagen fibers are also used as sutures used to hold tissues together until they heal adequately for self-support or to join tissues. Collagen is also used in fleeces, hemostatics and bandages.
What makes fish collagen based glue better than other collagen based glue?
Fish collagen peptide has moisture-retaining properties and lower molecular weight and hence has wide application prospects in wound repair.
Fish collagen-based glue is better than other collagen-based glue because of fish collagen’s better bioavailability and it is free from BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) and TSE (Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy).
Fish collagen will also help in repairing the wound quickly which is essential to prevent bacterial invasion and infection as well as the loss of body fluids and moisture over a period of time.
