    Biomedical collagen is used in a wide range of products and applications. These include coatings for Biomedical Devices, Tissue Engineering, Tissue Culture Coatings, Bioengineering Scaffolding, Cell & Drug Delivery, Haemostats, Sponges & Wound Dressings. To meet the requirements of these diverse applications Devro can offer a range of collagen products to medical device manufacturers and researchers.

    Devro collagen benefits from being sourced in Australia from a clean and TSE free national herd. Relatively few sources can be utilised for regulatory controlled medical devices making Australian sourced collagen highly sought after Principally derived from bovine dermal tissue (Type I/ III collagen) or tendon (Type I collagen), products can be supplied in the a wide range of formats.

    The Australian bovine dermal tissue (Type I/ III collagen) or tendon (Type I collagen), products can be supplied in the following formats: APCOLL purified soluble collagen is isolated from selected and fully traceable diseasefree Australian sources. Preparation of APCOLL soluble collagen is under controlled conditions to ensure the triple helical structure, which is integral for functionality, is preserved during processing. APCOLL collagen is available as an acid solubilised collagen or as a pepsin-solubilised collagen and can be manufactured to customer requirements in terms of animal age, aqueous solvent, pH and concentration. The purified APCOLL soluble collagen solution is suitable for use in a variety of applications including tissue engineering as a scaffold for cells, haemostats, wound healing dressings a Our aim is to facilitate the use of our fully traceable, Australian bovine collagen, while providing the technical support and local distribution our customers require. DEVRO Medical's mission is to produce consistent, high quality collagen products and to form effective partnerships with our customers
