Collagen is widely used in biomedical applications due to its outstanding properties. In this study, highly porous sponge scaffolds were developed by using porcine skin-derived collagen (PSC) and fish scale-derived collagen (FSC), respectively. The morphology and composition of these PSC and FSC scaffolds were compared. The water uptake ratio of FSC scaffolds reached 47.8, which is 1.7 times of PSC scaffolds. The water vapour transmission rates (WVTR) of PSC and FSC scaffolds were 952.6 +/- 55.5 and 1090.9 +/- 77.1 g/m(2)/day, which could produce a moist healing environment for wounds. Both scaffolds show non-toxicity to L929 fibroblast cells. The burn wound healing efficiency of these two scaffolds was examined in vivo using rabbits. No scars around the wounds were observed after applying PSC and SFC scaffolds. Histopathological studies reveal that the wound treated with PSC and FSC scaffolds showed much better wound recovery than gauze and vaseline gauze groups. It was suggested that FSC scaffolds have great potential as same as PSC to be used as burn wound dressing materials.
