Biopad and Biospray - also marketed as Condress, Condress Spray, Gelfix and Gelfix Spray (all of them brands property of Euroresearch), are biological dressings constituted by equine native type I collagen.
The choice of equine (horse) collagen, having an identical amino acid composition and effectiveness compared to human collagen, represents a technological and safety improvement with respect to existing devices for the same intended use.
The manufacturing process of the device, using a non-denaturant procedure in the absence of proteolytic enzymes and carried out at a low temperature, and in subsequent drying and irradiation of the device, does not change the native structure of the protein and does not induce a chemical cross-linking process: the collagen thus retains its native triple helix structure, microfibril¬lar frame, molecular weight and sequence of polypeptide chains.
Euroresearch’s wound dressings are ideal for the control of minor bleedings and for the management of any kind of ulcer and skin lesion, such as pressure sores, venous ulcers, diabetic foot, traumatic and surgical lesions.
Safety
The immunogenicity and the allergenicity potential problems have been kept under control through pre- and post-marketing studies “in vitro” and “in vivo” surveillance on the product: the results have highlighted the complete absence of sensitization phenomena and immunogenicity imputable to the product: as a matter of fact, since the very beginning of the marketing in Italy (bovine collagen as from 1990 and equine collagen as from 2001) and also on the different foreign countries where the devifces are marketed, no cases of sensitization and/or immunogenicity have been reported, causing a lack of adverse events.
