Collagen

advanced materials and dressings

Covalon has developed collagen-based matrices that can retain therapeutics and have many applications in surface trauma and wound applications, as well as implantable medical devices. The denatured collagen-based matrix is produced as three-dimensional scaffolds, which allow the material to deliver antimicrobial silver ions to the sites of various trauma including burns and wounds. The matrices can be loaded with various therapeutics, cosmetics, liposomes and nanospheres to impart specific functions to the material.

Covalon's technologies allow the company to develop biomaterials to deliver therapeutics that reduce restenosis rates.
