First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of making a composition comprising telopeptide collagen, comprising, in order, the steps of:
- (a) macerating placental tissue;
(b) suspending the placental tissue in a hypertonic saline solution;
(c) suspending the placental tissue in water; and
(d) treating the placental tissue with a mild detergent,wherein said collagen has not been chemically modified or contacted with a base as part of the method, and wherein said composition additionally comprises 10% to about 12% elastin by dry weight, glycosaminoglycans, and less than 1% fibronectin or less than 1% laminin by weight after said method is completed.
