NuMed Collagen Particles are spherically designed particles that consist of type 1, 100% bovine collagen that’s similar in molecular structure to the collagen found in the skin. The particles lay down a collagen matrix in the wound bed, attracting the cellular components necessary to stimulate the healing process.
