Abstract
Abstract A composition for repairing bone defects by use of suspensions containing purified atelopeptide, reconstituted fibrillar skin collagen is disclosed. The suspensions provide matrices for conductive growth of bone into the defect. The skin collagen may also be lyophilized and used in the form of mats or sheets. The formed reconstituted skin collagen are aspects of the invention.
