Abstract
Abstract Collagen-based medicinal dressings are produced by freezing a collagen aqueous polydispersion obtained from cattle hide in a concentration of 0.66 to 2% by weight at a temperature of at most -65°C and subjecting the frozen polydispersion to vacuum at a pressure of 10 - 3 to 10 - 5 torr for a period of 24 to 48 hours while maintaining a temperature thereof of at most +35°C. The resulting spongy mass has a density of 0.03 to 0.06 gram/cm 3 .

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
A method of making a collagen-based medicinal dressing comprising the steps of: freezing a collagen polydispersion containing a bacteriocide, bacteriostat or healing-promotion agent in water to a temperature between -65°C and -70°C for a period of 2.5 to 3.2 hours, drying the frozen polydispersion by vacuum sublimation over a period of substantially 24 to 48 hours at a pressure of 10.sup. -3 to 10.sup. -5 torr, and maintaining the temperature during the vacuum sublimation period up to +35°C.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
78 words
A method of making a collagen-based medicinal dressing comprising the steps of: freezing a collagen polydispersion containing a bacteriocide, bacteriostat or healing-promotion agent in water to a temperature between -65°C and -70°C for a period of 2.5 to 3.2 hours, drying the frozen polydispersion by vacuum sublimation over a period of substantially 24 to 48 hours at a pressure of 10.sup. -3 to 10.sup. -5 torr, and maintaining the temperature during the vacuum sublimation period up to +35°C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method defined in claim 1 wherein said polydispersion has a collagen concentration of 0.66 to 2%.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method defined in claim 2 wherein 0.5 to 2 grams of tetracycline is added per 1000 ml of the polydispersion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method defined in claim 2 wherein 0.5 to 0.75 grams of hydrocortisone is added per 1000 ml of the polydispersion.
