Abstract
Collagen is a natural tissue present in the body. For healing of any part collagen is essential. Collagen has been made available in the form of sheets for clinical use, by the Central Leather Research Institute, Adyar, Madras 20. It has been tried in burns and ulcers. Plantar ulcers are common in leprosy and pose a problem in healing. Therefore, collagen was tried in our Institute on 75 patients having plantar ulcers, other type of ulcers like stasis ulcers and post operative wounds. It has been found from our study that Collagen Sheet hastens the healing of wounds.
