Along with providing 19 amino acids directly to the wound site it also occludes live nerve endings reducing pain. Treating the wound with the CoMatryx Surgical Collagen powder provides the non-hydrolyzed collagen wound surface promoting autolytic debridement. The powder is effective in all phases of wound healing and can be delivered with antibiotics in areas where there may be a cavity.
