Benefits

• Patented reconstituted bioactive collagen sheet, free of immunogenic proteins, lipids, and elastin
• Native structure of the collagen is not altered or cross-linked which maintains its high bioactivity
• Collagen phosphorylation attracts cells, regenerates tissue, and stimulates blood capillaries/granulation within 4 to 5 days
• No washing needed prior to use
• Can be cut, sutured, or stapled
• Effectively reduces pain
• Choose from standard or customized dimensions
• Accelerated wound healing and tissue remodeling with minimal applications reduce the treatment cost by over 40%
• Remains clinically usable for 3 years when stored in room temperature conditions

Indications

Helicoll® is indicated for use on partial- and full-thickness wounds, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, chronic vascular ulcers, diabetic ulcer, trauma wounds (i.e., abrasions, lacerations, skin tears, second-degree burns), surgical wounds (i.e., donor sites/grafts, post-Mohs surgery, post-laser surgery, podiatric or wound dehiscence).

Contraindications

Mode of Use/Application

Remove Helicoll® from package and separate first the clear polymer sheet. Soak in sterile saline for approximately for five to ten minutes and remove the other white polymer sheet also. Apply Helicoll® over the debrided wound bed and remove any trapped air bubbles. In surgical settings, Helicoll® can be retained in place using tape, suture or staples. Refer to the Helicoll® application guide to apply a non-adherent porous dressing sheet over Helicoll® and for the secondary compressive dressing applications. Leave Helicoll® in place for five to seven days, unless any complication or infection arises. Prophylactic antibiotic may be used as the doctor prefers. Helicoll® will absorb into the wound bed. Make slits with a surgical scalpel if needed when exudate is present.

Removal & Change Frequency

Removal of a Helicoll® membrane is not required except when wound is infected or if excessive exudate is under the Helicoll® membrane. For slowly healing chronic wounds, it may be changed after five to seven days.

Additional Recommended Dressings

Apply every 7 days as needed.
