Collatamp® G is approved for the treatment and prevention of post-surgical infection. There are more than 40 clinical studies evaluating the performance of Collatamp® G, either for treating localized infection or for preventing surgical site infections across a wide variety of surgical procedures. A recently published clinical trial in 2000 patients undergoing open heart surgery by median sternotomy showed that implantation of Collatamp® G reduced the frequency of post-operative sternal wound infections by more than 50% compared to systemic antibiotics alone. Similar or even greater reductions in the frequency of surgical site infections have been reported in colorectal and other abdominal procedures. Pharmacoeconomic studies have demonstrated that Collatamp® G leads to reduced treatment expenses and an overall cost saving for the hospital if used routinely.
