Everything a wound care nurse uses. In one box.
It's 9 p.m., you're at your third drugstore, and nobody stocks the collagen dressing the visiting nurse uses — or the right tape, or anything in the right size. The Collagen Care Kit puts clinic-grade supplies in one box: FDA 510(k)-cleared collagen dressings, sterile saline wound wash, nitrile gloves, and medical tape, delivered to your door.

The nurse comes once a week. The wound is there every day.
When a home-health nurse manages a pressure injury, she arrives with everything she needs — including a collagen dressing that seems to be making a difference. Then she leaves, and the supplies leave with her.
Between visits, families are handed a shopping list nobody actually wrote down. The result is a familiar scramble:
- Three drugstores in one evening — none of them stock collagen dressings
- Online orders that arrive in the wrong size, 2"×2" when the nurse uses 4"×4"
- Guessing which tape will hold without hurting fragile skin
- No way to track what was changed, and when, between visits
What's in the box
- 5 individually sealed collagen matrix dressings, in your choice of 2"×2" or 4"×4"
- FDA 510(k)-cleared, 100% Type I bovine collagen
- Sterile saline wound wash for cleansing at each change
- Nitrile gloves for clean dressing changes
- Medical tape to secure the dressing
5 pads at the change frequency your clinician sets — typically enough for roughly two weeks, depending on your clinician's schedule.
Assembling it yourself costs more — and matches worse

How a dressing change works
- Cleanse with saline Put on the nitrile gloves, then gently cleanse the wound area with the sterile saline wound wash and let it air-dry for a moment.
- Apply the collagen dressing Lay the collagen matrix dressing directly on the wound bed, trimming to size if your clinician has shown you how.
- Secure with tape Cover with the secondary dressing your clinician recommends and edge it with medical tape so everything stays put between changes.
A simple photo log the family keeps — a quick phone photo at each change — gives you something concrete to show the nurse at the next visit.
Why collagen
Collagen matrix dressings aren't a drugstore novelty — they're the category wound clinics and skilled nursing facilities reach for when a wound has stalled, including pressure injuries. That's why the visiting nurse brings one, and why it's so hard to find on a retail shelf.
Ovena's collagen dressings are FDA 510(k)-cleared, made from Type I bovine collagen, and manufactured in an ISO 13485-certified facility. The same category of dressing the clinic uses — now available to the families doing the other six days of care.
Ovena Health was founded by David Chahine, MD, after years of watching the same scene repeat: a wound gets clinic-grade dressings during visits, and then families spend the days in between driving from store to store trying to find anything comparable. Ovena exists to close that gap — the same category of supplies clinicians use, packaged so a family can actually use them at home.
