The ideal duration of protection in a collagen dressing depends on wound type, exudate level, and patient needs, balancing effective coverage with comfort and convenience. Some collagen dressings are designed for daily changes, while others can remain in place for several days, reducing disturbance to the wound bed and supporting uninterrupted healing. For example, Biostep® Collagen Matrix Dressings can be used on moderately to heavily exudating wounds and are typically changed according to wound condition, whereas Biostep® Ag Collagen Matrix Dressings offer antimicrobial protection while also supporting extended wear when appropriate. Selecting a dressing with the right wear time helps optimize healing, minimize dressing changes, and improve patient satisfaction.
