[Treatment using Polish collagen biomaterials]

The article presents the review of all published and not published results of clinical investigations of new polish collagen biomaterials that have been registered in Poland recently. Two main medical applications of the biomaterials--used as hemostatic tampons and/or as biological dressings for wound care have been described here. The collagen sponges proved to be useful in chronic wound care and for hemostasis of bleeding wounds. The collagen membranes are effective in extensive superficial wounds care (burns, skin donor places or wounds after dermabrasion).
