# Smith & Nephew Biostep Collagen Matrix Dressing

The Smith & Nephew Biostep Collagen Matrix Dressing is a wound care solution designed to overcome barriers to wound closure while maintaining an optimal moist wound environment. This dressing is available in convenient sizes of 2" x 2" and 4" x 4", with options for individual units or boxes of 10.

## Advanced Wound Healing Technology

Biostep features a unique collagen matrix that targets and deactivates excess matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which can interfere with the natural healing process. By controlling these enzymes, the dressing helps restart and maintain the wound healing cascade.

### Extended Wear Time for Better Healing

With a 6-day wear time, Biostep provides prolonged control of the wound environment, reducing the frequency of dressing changes and minimizing disruption to the healing process. This extended wear time also helps reduce overall treatment costs and improves patient comfort.
