hyCUREŽ
Medical Hydrolysate of Type I Collagen A wound exudate absorber and filler A natural hydrolyzed protein powder (collagen), hyCUREŽ interacts with the wound site as it forms a gel when mixing with the wound’s exudate and provides a moist healing environment. Collagen is a biological platform for new cell growth1 and supplies nutritive protein directly to the wound site2. It promotes and accelerates cellular regeneration by replicating the natural fibro-connective template3 and provides mechanical protection against physical and bacterial insult4. Hydrolyzed collagen has been experimentally tested as a hemostatic agent and as a tissue adhesive exhibiting the following characteristics: permitting bond formation without undue deformation of tissue, providing complete sealing and having the potential to augment physically weakened tissues (aneurysms)5. Description: Each gram of hyCUREŽ is within specifications as noted: a collagen powder having a pH of 5.5-6.5, ash content of 2.5% max, isotonic point of 5.0-6.5, and a proprietary molecular weight range. Indications: hyCUREŽ is indicated for topical use in the management of chronic wounds and dermal ulcers including the local management of: | Pressure Ulcers (Stages 1-4) |
| Venous Stasis Ulcers |
