摘要:
A process for preparing pliable soft tissue specimen which are resistant to cracking and devoid of viable cells includes the steps of treating native soft tissue obtained from a donor by a gradually increasing gradient of aliphatic alcohol or other suitable water miscible polar organic solvent until the last alcohol (or other solvent) solution has at least 25 % by volume of the organic liquid. Thereafter, the tissue specimen is treated with a solution containing glycerol or low molecular weight (

The objective of the present invention is to provide a collagen material that possesses physical properties to an extent that allows suturing while still maintaining the biochemical properties inherently possessed by collagen, and retains its shape for a certain amount of time even after application to the body; its production process; and, a medical material on which it is based, examples of which include a artificial tube for nerve, artificial tube for spinal cord, artificial esophagus, artificial trachea, artificial blood vessel, artificial valve or alternative medical membranes such as artificial endocranium, artificial ligamenta, artificial tendons, surgical sutures, surgical prostheses, surgical reinforcement, wound protecting materials, artificial skin and artificial cornea, characterized by filling or having inside a substance having biocompatibility that can be degraded and absorbed in the body into a matrix of a non-woven fabric-like multi-element structure of collagen fibers having ultra-fine fibers of collagen as its basic unit.
摘要:
The invention is directed to collagenous tissues which have been treated to remove non-collagenous components such as cells, cellular debris, and other extracellular matrix components, such as proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, normally found in native tissues. Treatment of the tissue with alkali, chelating agents, acids and salts removes non-collagenous components from the collagenous tissue matrix while controlling the amount of swelling and dissolution so that the resultant collagen matrix retains its structural organization, integrity and bioremodelable properties. The process circumvents the need to use detergents and enzymes which detrimentally affect the cell compatibility, strength and bioremodelability of the collagen matrix. The collagenous tissue matrix is used for implantation, repair, or use in a mammalian host.
摘要:
In a method of preparing an antithrombogenic medical material having a heparinized collagen as an antithrombogenic component, there is provided a method comprising the steps of fixing a protamine to a collagen through a polyepoxy compound, and heparinizing the collagen by fixing heparin to the protamine.
摘要:
A bone-equivalent, useful in the fabrication of prostheses, which is prepared from a hydrated collagen lattice contracted by fibroblast cells and containing demineralized bone powder.
摘要:
Ce procédé de fabrication comporte les étapes suivantes: extrusion dans une filière cylindrique (2) équipée d'un tube central concentrique (3) destiné à recevoir une partie du bain de coagulation (5), d'un gel acide aqueux (4) contenant 1,5 % environ de collagène natif, suivie d'une coagulation des parois interne et externe du tube sortant de la filière dans un bain de coagulation (5) constitué d'environ 70% d'acétone pour 30% d'ammoniaque, et d'un séchage. Une fois séché, le tube de collagène (8) est soumis à une réticulation par déshydratation poussée en étuve à environ 80°C sous un vide d'environ 0,1 mm de mercure pendant environ 24 heures. Le tube de collagène (8) réticulé est éventuellement soumis à un traitement permettant d'introduire des groupes azides dans la molécule sans toutefois occasionner le couplage du collagène avec quelque molécule que ce soit.
摘要:
A collagen material which has such physical properties as enabling suture while maintaining the biochemical characteristics inherent to collagen and can sustain its shape over a certain period of time after the application to a living body; and materials for medical use based thereon, for example, artificial nerve tubes, artificial spinal cords, artificial gullets, artificial tracheae, artificial blood vessels, artificial valves, artificial membranes for medical use such as artificial scleromeninx, artificial ligaments, artificial tendons, surgical suture threads, surgical loading materials, surgical reinforcing materials, wound protectors, artificial skin and artificial cornea. The above collagen material is characterized by comprising a biocompatible and biodegradable/absorbable substance filled in or sandwiched between matrices of a multidimensional nonwoven structure consisting of collagen fibers having ultrafine collagen fibers as the fundamental constituting unit.
