Smith & Nephew Biostep Collagen Matrix Dressing 4 x 4 Inch
Advanced Collagen Dressing for Chronic Wound Management and Healing Support
Product Description
Smith & Nephew Biostep Collagen Matrix Dressing is a specialized sterile wound care solution designed specifically for managing chronic and acute wounds by overcoming barriers to wound closure. This advanced collagen dressing from Smith & Nephew combines structural support with innovative MMP-targeting technology to support optimal healing outcomes and promote effective wound closure.
The Biostep Collagen Matrix Dressing features a dual-action MMP targeting and deactivation mechanism that addresses a primary barrier to chronic wound closure. It contains type 1 and denatured porcine-derived collagen serving as sacrificial substrates to attract excess matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), along with EDTA, a proven MMP modulating agent that permanently deactivates excess MMPs without interfering with essential growth factors. This maintains prolonged control of the wound environment without altering growth factor activity needed for healing.
The dressing offers up to 6-day wear time, providing extended wound environment management with reduced dressing changes. Its highly conformable design ensures close contact with the wound bed for effective treatment support. The carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) component gels upon contact with wound moisture, creating a cooling soothing effect upon application for enhanced patient comfort.

Why Choose Smith & Nephew Biostep
- Basic wound dressings and standard gauze can manage exudate to some degree, but they don't actively address the underlying MMP imbalance that prevents healing in chronic wounds. Biostep Collagen Matrix Dressing is engineered with innovative MMP-targeting technology that actively works to overcome barriers to wound closure.
- Compared to other collagen dressings, Biostep combines type 1 and denatured porcine-derived collagen with EDTA, a proven MMP modulating agent. This dual-action approach targets and deactivates excess MMPs while preserving essential growth factors needed for wound repair, providing a comprehensive solution for chronic wound management.
- Because it is manufactured by Smith & Nephew, a leader in wound care for over 150 years, this Biostep Collagen Matrix Dressing is built with consistency and reliability in mind. It's a product that wound care professionals trust for managing chronic and acute wounds in clinical settings.
