Low Molecular Weight Collagen Composition for Wound Healing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional methods of wound healing are inefficient, leading to prolonged healing times, incomplete pigment removal, non-selective tissue destruction, and unsatisfactory cosmetic results such as atrophic or hypertrophic scarring.
Innovation Solution
A wound healing and tissue repair composition comprising a combination of hydrolyzed collagen derived from bovine and marine sources, along with hydrolyzed whey, which facilitates tissue and cell growth, promotes wound healing, and reduces scar tissue formation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If traditional wound healing methods are used, then the wound healing process occurs naturally, but the healing time is prolonged and cosmetic results are unsatisfactory
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by using a specific combination of hydrolyzed collagen from bovine and marine sources with controlled molecular weights and amino acid compositions. This optimized parameter combination accelerates the wound healing process while improving cosmetic outcomes, directly resolving the contradiction between healing speed and quality
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a composite material system combining hydrolyzed collagen from multiple sources (bovine and marine) with specific molecular weight distributions. This composite approach provides both rapid healing and superior cosmetic results by leveraging the complementary properties of different collagen sources, simultaneously addressing both healing time and cosmetic quality
2Reliability
If traditional wound cleaning and antiseptic agents are applied, then infection risk is reduced, but tissue damage occurs and healing is slowed
Solution Approach 1:
The hydrolyzed collagen composition acts as an intermediary substance that provides infection protection without the harmful effects of traditional antiseptics. It creates a protective environment for wound healing while maintaining tissue integrity, resolving the contradiction between infection protection and tissue preservation
3Object-affected harmful factors
If aggressive tissue removal is performed to eliminate contaminants, then infection risk decreases, but healthy tissue is destroyed and scarring increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the previously harmful approach of aggressive tissue removal into a beneficial selective process. The hydrolyzed collagen composition enables selective elimination of contaminants and damaged tissue while preserving healthy tissue, thereby reducing scar formation. This resolves the contradiction by transforming a harmful method into a beneficial one that achieves contaminant removal without excessive tissue destruction
