Patient Criteria

Collatamp G is a clinically proven anti-infective surgical implant that delivers a high dose of concentration-dependent gentamicin directly to the site of infection risk, providing effective and efficient antibiotic coverage only where needed, when needed. 

The collagen substrate possesses exceptional haemostatic properties. Collatamp G is fully resorbable, and does not require a subsequent surgery for removal.

For high-risk surgical cases, Collatamp G is intended to be used as an adjunct to proper administration of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis and the "Safer Healthcare Now" surgical site infection bundle.

Consider adjunctive use of Collatamp G for:

Patients:

• Diabetes
• Obesity (BMI >30)
• Elderly or very young
• ASA score 2-4
• Alcohol/tobacco use
• Steroid therapy
• Immunocompromised
• Existing local infection

Procedures:

• Dirty/contaminated surgery
• Surgery of long duration
• High NNIS score
• Where SSI would be catastrophic
