Abstract

Abstract Collagen-based compositions useful in the attachment of tissues, or the attachment of tissues to synthetic implant materials, are disclosed. The compositions comprise collagen crosslinked using a multifunctionally activated synthetic hydrophilic polymer. A particularly preferred composition comprises fibrillar collagen, a fiber disassembly agent, and a multifunctionally activated synthetic hydrophilic polymer. Methods are disclosed for using the compositions to effect the attachment of a native tissue to the surface of another native tissue, a non-native tissue, or a synthetic implant.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 75 words
A composition comprising fibrillar collagen, a fiber disassembly agent, and a multifunctionally activated synthetic hydrophilic polymer, wherein the fiber disassembly agent is present in an amount sufficient to render the collagen substantially nonfibrillar at pH 7, wherein the collagen and synthetic polymer covalently bind to form a collagen--synthetic polymer conjugate, and wherein the fiber disassembly agent is selected from the group consisting of: a biocompatible alcohol, an amino acid, an inorganic salt, and a carbohydrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 75 words
A composition comprising fibrillar collagen, a fiber disassembly agent, and a multifunctionally activated synthetic hydrophilic polymer, wherein the fiber disassembly agent is present in an amount sufficient to render the collagen substantially nonfibrillar at pH 7, wherein the collagen and synthetic polymer covalently bind to form a collagen--synthetic polymer conjugate, and wherein the fiber disassembly agent is selected from the group consisting of: a biocompatible alcohol, an amino acid, an inorganic salt, and a carbohydrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 24 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein the fiber disassembly agent is a biocompatible alcohol selected from the group consisting of glycerol and propylene glycol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 18 words
