Coverage of uninfected wounds with autograft has been found to be the best for preventing fluid loss from the born areas and controlling the infections. However, the infected wounds require attention for the use of antibiotics for complete healing. Suitable antibiotics have to be added to manage the infected burn wounds, diabetic wounds, leprosy wounds and other non-healing wounds and ulcers. DHKZCOL – G is prepared from bovine source and added suitable antibiotics. Similar products are available in the market having composition of collagen and antibiotics like Gentamicin, Vancomycin and similar water soluble antibiotics. DHKZCOL - G is prepared from bovine source has been found to be a suitable product to meet the long felt need of treating infected open surface areas.

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat many types of bacterial infections. Gentamicin is a type of aminoglycoside and works by disrupting the ability of bacteria to make proteins, which typically kills bacteria [Bindu TVL. et al, Trds.Bio.Met. Art.Org, Vol.24, 2010 P.120-130].

Wound dressings have been broadly classified as either adherent or non-adherent and absorbent or nonabsorbent. An ideal wound dressing material should have the ability to absorb exudates and toxic components from the wounds surface, maintain a high humidity at the wound/dressing interface, allow gaseous exchange, provide thermal insulation, and protect the wound from bacterial penetration. DHKZCOL - G has all the above properties and hence, is used as an effective burn / wound dressing material.

• DHKZCOL - G is a sterile product as it is biocompatible with skin it reduces the pain

• DHKZCOL - G permits oxygen since it is in porous nature and can be used in the management of infected wounds

• DHKZCOL - G prevent air bourn infection and It provides moist wound environment which enhances the granulation tissue formation, angiogenesis and epithelization.
