Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Purifying human derived collagen from human tissue includes treating harvested human tissue with an enzyme to form a collagen product, deactivating the enzyme with a non-alkaline enzyme deactivation solution, and collecting the collagen product resulting from the enzyme treatment, where the collected collagen product includes a preserved amount of its natural collagen constituents. Various medical implants can be formed using the isolated, enzymatically-treated human derived collagen having an amount of its natural collagen constituents preserved, and may include implantable sponges, patches, tubes, structural supports and coatings, and which may be used for repair, barrier, support and/or stabilization purposes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A medical implant comprising isolated, enzymatically-treated human derived collagen having a preserved amount of its natural collagen constituents, wherein the enzyme treatment comprises digesting the collagen with ficin and deactivating the ficin with a non-alkaline sodium chlorite solution to maintain growth factors and morphogenic proteins otherwise stripped away by exposure to an alkaline solution, wherein the collagen is lyophilized by exposing the colla…
