Collagen is the most abundantly found protein in human body. It occurs mostly in fibrous tissues such as ligaments, skin, tendons, cornea, blood vessels, bones, cartilages, and intervertebral disc. Medical collagen is a biocompatible material with low immunogenicity. Collagen has good hemostatic properties and facilitates wound healing. It is used in cell cultures as it supports cell proliferation in lattice structures and cell binding domain. Medical collagen is widely used in applications such as wound healing, tissue engineering, reconstructive surgeries, bone grafts, and cosmetic surgeries. The growth of the medical collagen market is attributed to the factors such as the rising applications of collagen in the medical industry, and growing FDA approvals and product launches. However, product recalls hinder the market growth.
Collagen is the protein found in connective tissues of the body. It is the most abundant protein found in the mammals, which makes up around 25%–35% of the whole-body protein content. As collagen is weakly antigenic and biodegradable, it has excellent biocompatibility. Thus, making it a primary resource in medical applications.
The cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) consists of fibrillar collagen that provides a means of force transmission, preserves myocardial integrity, and supports myocyte geometry. Several studies have proved that consuming collagen supplements will help in reducing the risk of heart-related conditions.
Collagen is one of the key constituents in cosmetic formulations as it has moisturizing, regenerating, and film-forming properties. Collagen has excellent ability to bind water that helps in maintaining proper water content in the skin throughout the day, which makes the skin moisturized and softened. Moreover, collagen fillers are widely used in aesthetic medicine. The subcutaneous injection of soluble collagen enhances the quality and density of the skin, thereby repairing its dermatological defects.
Collagen-based biomaterials have a wide range of applications in vivo and in vitro. Collagen has been widely used to develop synthetic bone graft substitutes of spine, extremities, and dental. Further, collagen scaffolds are developed to mimic and regenerate native tissues and are being rapidly adopted for cartilage repair.
Collagen is naturally involved in the wound-healing process and the use of collagen-based wound dressings offers several advantages for acute and chronic wound closure. Additionally, collagen dressings can control the moisture of the wound, by either absorbing or providing moisture. Thus, collagen is widely used in dressings, particles, and flowable scaffolds to treat acute and chronic wounds.
These wide range of applications of collagen in the medical industry favors the growth of the market.
