Abstract: Skin or wound dressings are prepared in gel or sheet form from enzyme-solubilized collagen and/or such chemically modified collagen. Improved sheet form dressing is prepared by tubular extrusion of such collagen gels.
Abstract: Chemically-modified quaternary-structured fiber collagens of minimum molecular length, diameter and periodicity, and containing a relatively high positive electrostatic charge are claimed as hemostatic agents. Specific examples are guanidinated, esterified, and guanidinated-esterified collagen fibers of the type described.

Abstract: Improved soft contact lenses are made from collagen gels to which water-soluble organic polyhydroxy polymers are added, e.g. mucopolysaccharides, polyvinyl alcohols, etc.
Abstract: An improved collagen gel soft contact lens is prepared from an aldehyde-crosslinked, lens-shaped collagen gel containing a water-soluble, aliphatic, monomeric, polyhydroxy compound, e.g., glucose.
Abstract: Polymers of quaternary-structured collagen of minimum length, diameter and periodicity, and containing a relatively high positive electrostatic charge are claimed as hemostatic agents. Specific examples are guanidnated polymers of the type described, esterified polymers, and esterified-guanidinated polymers.

Abstract: An accessory apparatus for motorized still camera lens ring adjustment is disclosed. The apparatus includes a connector for attaching the apparatus to camera body or lens and a wheel which is motor driven and suitable brackets for positioning the wheel against a lens adjustment ring. A switch is provided to selectively actuate the motor to drive the wheel so as to adjust the lens adjustment ring.
Abstract: Chemically-modified collagen membrane prepared at physiologic pH and soluble thereat provides a carrier for ophthalmic medication leaving no removable material after drug release.
