This process is of the type comprising the formation of amide bonds by means of acylazide groups and is characterized in that the collagen is reacted with diphenylphosphorylazide. The process according to the invention makes it possible to simplify the collagen cross-linking process and to adjust the degree of cross-linking at discretion without introducing any cross-linking agent.
