COLLAGEN BASED MATERIALS AND METHODS OF USING THEM

摘要

Certain configurations of adhesive materials are described which comprise a crosslinked derivatized atelocollagen. In some configurations, the crosslinked, derivatized atelocollagen is cured to provide a burst strength of at least 55 kPa or 60 kPa (or more) as tested by ASTM F2392-04, In some instances, the crosslinked derivatized atelocollagen comprises a methylated atelocollagen that is crosslinked using one or more functionalized crosslinking agents.
