Antimicrobial properties are important in collagen dressings because they help reduce bacterial burden and lower the risk of infection, particularly in wounds that are at higher risk for contamination or delayed healing. Collagen dressings that include antimicrobial agents, such as silver, can help manage bioburden while supporting the body’s natural wound healing process. For example, Biostep® Ag Collagen Matrix Dressings combine collagen with silver to provide antimicrobial protection, making them well suited for wounds with signs of infection or increased infection risk. Choosing an antimicrobial collagen dressing can provide added protection and support improved healing outcomes in more complex wounds.
