Diacoll-S is a Collagen – Gentamicin in the form sponge / containing collagen and Gentamicin sulphate. The collagen Gentamicin implant is composed of highly purified Type-l collagen which acts as a vehicle for the antimicrobial gentamicin. The collagen is derived from specifically controlled and certified animals and is highly purified to avoid any antiginicity. Gentamicin sulphate is a wide spectrum antibiotic that provides highly effective topical treatment in primary and secondary bacterial infections of the skin. Diacoll-STM is produced using the latest triple helix collagen technique to provide an optimum degree of flexibility and rigidity combined with the most predictable resorptive process.
Diacoll-S can be applied in a number of surgeries to reduce the risk of Surgical Site infections.
Diacoll-s Implant is Supplied in the following sizes in a gamma sterilized pouch
Diacoll-s comprises of a collagen sponge incorporated with Gentamicin sulphate. When applied on the wound the collagen acts as a vehicle for the antimicrobial gentamicin. Collagen is absorbed slowly by the tissue in 6 to 10 days after is application. The Diacoll-S kills bacteria that may be antibiotic-resistant at lower doses. It maintains a high concentration of the drug at the target site, while avoiding the risk of systemic toxicity and associated side effects. It comes prepacked and sterile and is intended for single use only.
