Popis: Collagen plays a significant role in treating acute and chronic wounds such as cuts, burns, ulcers associated with other illness via enhancing the debridement of infected tissues, angiogenesis and promoting natural growth. There are several types of collagen, which can be obtained from various animal sources such as chicken, bovine, porcine, fish etc. Among that bovine based collagen contributed many shares towards biomedical application. Nowadays using bovine based collagen biomaterials for wound care is in trend to minimize the negative impacts such as infection, pain and other side effects. However, its applicable and effectiveness are not fully revealed. At the same time, clinicians and researchers are exploring and implementing advanced techniques and treatment procedures to reduce the wound healing burden effectively. In this review, we aimed to focus on the fundamental information about types of wound dressings, collagen dressings and the clinical utility of bovine based collagen dressings in providing essential knowledge in advanced wound care management.
