![]() ![]() Gel, hydrogel, liposomes-collagen: One of the successful applications of collagen for the controlled delivery systems is collagen-based gel as an injectable aqueous formulation. Collagen dressings are prepared in a variety of different forms including, sponges, membrane sheets and powder, having essential biological properties important for such application. ![]() Ĭollagen sponges: Collagen sponges are very useful in the management of severe burns and as a dressing for severe types of wounds. Collagen film and matrix have been used as gene delivery carriers for promoting bone formation. Soluble ophthalmic insert in the form of a wafer or a film was introduced as a drug delivery system for the treatment of infected corneal tissue using a high dose of antibiotic agents, such as gentamycin and tetracycline. Collagen film/sheet/disc has been used for the treatment of tissue infection, such as infected corneal tissue or liver cancer. Ĭollagen-based drug delivery systems: The main application of collagen films is as barrier membrane. Tissue based device: Tissue based device like prosthetic heart valves and vascular prosthesis have increased the life expectancy of many cardiac patients with lower risk of infection.
