Medifil: wound management material 
Medifil consists of spherical hydrophilic particles of collagen, 0.1 to 0.3 mm in diameter. These particles are also available as a paste and a non-adherent pad. Each gram of collagen particle absorbs approximately 40 to 60 times its weight in fluid. Absorption causes suction and capillary action in spaces between particles. 

Studies indicate absence of cytotoxicity and pyrogenicity in cell cultures and no irritation or contact sensitization with the use of Medifil. The use of Medifil to remove exudates results in reduction of inflammation and edema. The resulting environment may be conducive to the normal healing process.

    		•
    • Super-absorbant
    • Removes exudate and particles that impede healing and tissue repair
    • Allows gaseous exchange
    • Reduces inflammationand edema and eschar
    • Creates an environment which may be conductive to the normal healing process
    • Wet ulcers
    • Burns
    • Cuts and abrasions
    • Pressure ulcers
    • Stasis ulcers
    • Irritations of skin
    • Partial thickness wounds
    • Infected traumatic and surgical wounds
     
       Application 
  •  
    		•
      Particles and paste 
    • Debride and clean the wound in the usual manner. Leave the wound moist to facilitate   the action of Medifil.
    • Apply Medifil particles or paste to at least a 1/4 inch thickness.
    • Apply a dressing if needed to cover.
    • Remove by washing with normal saline solution when particles become saturated.
    		   Pads 
    • Debride and clean the wound in the usual manner. Leave the wound moist to facilitate the action of Medifil.
    • Place pad in contact with wound surface.
    • Apply a dressing if needed to cover.
    • Remove and discard pad when particles become saturated.

    Precautions
    Do not pack the wound tightly; allow for expansion of the particles. 

    Wounds may appear larger during the first few days of treatment due to the reduction of edema. 

    Treatment.of the underlying condition (venous or arterial flow, pressure, etc.} should proceed concurrently with the use of Medifil. 

    Medifil paste is insoluable collagen and should never be used as an injectable soulable collagen. 

    All open and unused portions must be discarded. 

    Not to be used on persons sensitive to materials of bovine origin. 

    Some adverse reactions such as transitory pain, bleeding, blistering, edema and erythema occasionally have been reported in isolated cases.
