Foundations for healing

Creating the right conditions for healing is crucial, especially for hard-to-heal wounds. Addressing inflammation and bioburden is an important step. While collagen is effective against matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), its impact on elastase, another abundant protease, is limited. In vitro studies show that combining Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose (ORC) with collagen has a greater effect than collagen alone in reducing both MMP and elastase activity, both highly predictive indicators of non-healing wounds3-4.

 

Elastase plays a critical role as it's one of the most prevalent proteases in hard-to-heal wounds. It arrives early post-injury, and can damage crucial elements including5-7:

  • Fibronectin: Which aids cell adhesion and migration 
  • Elastin: Which provides tissue elasticity 
  • Growth factors: PDGF and EGF 

3M Promogran Matrix Family: Proven outcomes 

Enhancing patient outcomes is at the heart of our wound care approach, and the 3M™ Promogran™ Matrix Family stands out.

  • 1.74x higher odds to achieve complete healing
  • Proven effective in clinical studies and Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT)1-2  
  • Improves overall success rates when applied early8-11  
  • Potential to reduce treatment costs12
