RIO DE JANEIRO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Some wounds can be difficult to heal and the patients affected by them can suffer from infections, pain and other complications. A Brazilian product capable of revolutionizing wound treatment has had its Intellectual Property (IP) rights approved in Germany. Manufactured by Silvestre Labs®, of Axis Biotec Group, Colzen® is a 3 in 1 biocompatible wound dressing, composed of calcium alginate, cerium nitrate and collagen type I.
Colzen® is indicated for the management of wounds including: to burns, leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, grafting areas, traumatic and surgical wounds.
With its unique composition, Colzen® offers three benefits in one product. Collagen promotes granulation and wound epithelialization, alginate controls the exudate forming a gel that guaranties the ideal moisture for the wound bed, and cerium nitrate that controls bacteria.

In contact with the wound, Colzen® becomes a transparent protective gel, which reduces pain while controlling bacteria and promoting healing cell proliferation in a physiologically humid environment. Colzen® easily molds to the contours of the wound and it may be cut to adjust when necessary,” says Eduardo Cruz, CEO and founder of Silvestre Labs®.
