Type 4 collagen is a specialized form of collagen found in basement membranes, the thin layers of extracellular matrix beneath epithelial and endothelial cells. It plays a critical role in wound healing by supporting cell adhesion, migration, and tissue regeneration, helping restore the structure and function of healed tissue. For example, Endoform® Antimicrobial Dermal Template, Fenestrated, 4" x 5" contains Type 4 collagen from the dermal matrix, making it particularly effective for basement membrane reconstruction and epithelialization in wound care.
