The aim of this paper is describe the application of desamidated collagen as a biomaterial in order to evaluate the utility of collagen, particularly as a drug delivery device, as a haemostat, and as a wound cover. We also evaluated the utility of vitamin A, vitamin C, 50% glucose, and gentamicin locally applied onto the open wound. Any biomaterial should ensure non-toxicity to the biological environment where it is applied. We point out the utility of vitamin A, vitamin C, 50% glucose, and gentamicin locally applied onto the open wound with a biological covering. Collagen sheet is becoming evident in our ongoing studies. We are convinced that collagen sheets are very useful in first- and second-degree burns. The cost factor comes down and the pain associated with dressing can be avoided. Especially in children it is very useful since the trauma of dressing can be avoided.
