Overview
The bovine flexor tendon is used to extract type I bovine collagen, a fibrous powder. Insoluble polymeric collagen constitutes the substance. Although this product does not produce hydrogels, it can easily be prepared into a variety of forms, including tissue scaffolds, foams, sponges, suspensions, coatings, putties, films, and sheets.
The bovine flexor tendon is used as the source of the raw material for the production of Type I bovine collagen, a lyophilized fibrous powder. Collagen from the tendon is more naturally crosslinked than other types of collagens because of this. Insoluble polymeric collagen makes up the substance.
A high-quality product with consistent quality from lot to lot is produced by manufacturing procedures that adhere to strict quality standards. Type II and Type III collagens cannot be found in this product and it has a purity level of >96%.
This product comes in 1 g packages of lyophilized fibrous powder. This product is not regarded as sterile despite testing for bioburden and endotoxin levels.
This collagen product is naturally cross-linked, producing a solid substance for uses requiring structure and strength. Although this product does not produce hydrogels, it can easily be prepared into a variety of forms, including tissue scaffolds, foams, sponges, suspensions, coatings, putties, films, and sheets.
This substance can be tailored for an ideal in vivo resorption using common cross-linking techniques. Utilizing inorganic and biomaterials with this collagen product is perfect for tissue engineering applications.
The product comes in convenient packaging that is designed for use and storage. Since this material is hygroscopic, avoid prolonged exposure to the environment in the open air.
