Activated, Type I Collagen (CellerateRx) and Its Effectiveness in Healing Recalcitrant Diabetic Wounds: A Case Presentation

OBJECTIVE: To review the authors' experience with activated type I collagen in the treatment of recalcitrant wounds in the diabetic population resulting from minor trauma and/or venous stasis disease. With regard to activated collagen, CellerateRx's patented activated collagen fragments are a fraction of the size of the native collagen molecules and particles found in other products, delivering the benefits of collagen to the body immediately. DESIGN: A 2-case presentation wherein patients were treated with CellerateRx (activated, fragmented, and nonintact type I collagen) in a gel and powder form. SUBJECTS: Two middle-aged diabetic male patients with lower extremity wounds refractory to conservative wound care. RESULTS: Complete resolution of recalcitrant wounds in 6 to 7 weeks. CONCLUSIONS: Wound resolution was evident when using the authors' practice protocol, which includes the application of activated collagen. The inherent properties of type I collagen may contribute to a more rapid healing process.
