  • Patent number: 9315562
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a collagen fiber membrane, which has sufficient strength and can be used as a cell culture substrate, a scaffold material for regenerative medicine (for example, material for tissue engineering of cartilage, bone, ligament, corneal stroma, skin, or liver), an implantation material (for example, wound dressing material, bone grafting material, hemostatic material, anti-adhesive material) or a carrier for drug delivery. The object of the present invention can be solved by a fish-derived collagen fiber membrane, characterized in that (1) a tensile strength is 30 MPa or more, (2) a density determined by the gravimetric method, is 0.4 g/cm3 or more, and (3) an average membrane thickness is 1 ?m to 2 mm, and a variation in membrane thickness is plus or minus 30%, relative to the average membrane thickness.

  • Patent number: 9119903
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a calcium phosphate-collagen fiber composite which has an excellent mechanical property, can induce bone replacement by rapid bone remodeling, and can be used in a high-load region. The object can be solved by a porous composite comprising a calcium phosphate crystal and a collagen fiber at a weight ratio of 80:20 to 20:80, wherein (1) a bioabsorbability of the porous composite is graded, and (2) the density of the porous composite determined by gravimetric method is 300 to 1500 mg/cm3.

  • Publication number: 20130337227
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a non-fibrogenesis collagen material which has a sufficient strength and can be used as a cell culture substrate, a scaffold material for regenerative medicine (for example, material for tissue engineering of cartilage, bone, ligament, corneal stroma, skin, or liver), an implantation material (for example, wound dressing material, bone grafting material, hemostatic material, anti-adhesive material) or a carrier for drug delivery. The object of the present invention can be solved by a non-fibrogenesis collagen material characterized by comprising a fish-derived collagen.
