Abstract
Abstract This biomaterial comprises at least a compound consisting of an association of collagen, chitosan acetylated to a degree of acetylation between about 10 and about 40% and of glycosaminoglycans. It has its application in orthopedics and plastic surgery and for making extracellular matrices for regeneration of nerve cells and bones as well as biocompatible envelopes. A particular application is the making of artificial skin consisting of a dermal layer of the velvet type obtained from biomaterials such as those described above. The process of obtaining this dermal layer consists in adding a collagen solution of the chitosan, then in adding to the collagen-chitosan a mixture of chondroitins 4- and 6-sulfate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
A biomaterial comprising an extracellular matrix for cellular colonization, said matrix comprising collagen, the amino and carboxyl groups of said collagen remaining ionically intact; a chitosan having a degree of acetylation of not more than 40%; and a glycosaminoglycan; said collagen, said chitosan, and said glycosaminoglycan being directly crosslinked one to another into a three-demensional ionic network bonding the amino groups of said collagen and said chitosan with the carboxyl groups of said collagen and said glycosaminoglycan and with the sulfate groups of said glycosaminoglycan.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
A biomaterial comprising an extracellular matrix for cellular colonization, said matrix comprising collagen, the amino and carboxyl groups of said collagen remaining ionically intact; a chitosan having a degree of acetylation of not more than 40%; and a glycosaminoglycan; said collagen, said chitosan, and said glycosaminoglycan being directly crosslinked one to another into a three-demensional ionic network bonding the amino groups of said collagen and said chitosan with the carboxyl groups of said collagen and said glycosaminoglycan and with the sulfate groups of said glycosaminoglycan.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A biomaterial according to claim 1 wherein the chitosan is obtained from N-deacetylation of microfibrillar chitin of shrimp carapaces.

Dependent Claim
18 words
A biomaterial according to claim 1 wherein the chitosan has a molecular weight of between 150,000 and 1,000,000.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A biomaterial according to claim 1 wherein the collagen is selected from the group consisting of type III+I, type III, type I, type IV, and type V collagens.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A biomaterial according to claim 1 wherein the glycosaminoglycan is selected from the group consisting of chondroitin 4-sulfate and chondroitin 6-sulfate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
A biomaterial according to claim 5 wherein said extracellular matrix is made of another glycosaminoglycan.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim

A biomaterial according to claim 6 wherein said another glycosaminoglycan is hyaluronic acid.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
A biomaterial according to claim 1 wherein said extracellular matrix comprises between 10 and 2-% of chitosan, between 4 and 10% of glycosaminoglycan, these percentages being calculated relative to the weight of collagen.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
18 words
A biomaterial according to claim 1 wherein the degree of acetylation of chitosan is between 10 and 40%.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim

Claim 13
Dependent Claim
14 words
A substitute skin comprising a dermal layer comprising a biomaterial according to claim 1.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
20 words
A substitute skin according to claim 12 comprising a biodegradable pseudoepidermis with a membrane structure lying over the dermal layer.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
12 words
A substitute skin according to claim 13 wherein the pseudoepidermis comprises chitosan.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
23 words
A substitute skin according to claim 13 wherein the pseudoepidermis comprises a compound selected from the group consisting of chondroitin sulfate and collagen.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
23 words
A substitute skin according to claim 13 wherein the pseudoepidermis comprises a protein structure selected from the group consisting of carboxymethylkeratin and aminoethylkeratin.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
59 words
A method for preparing the biomaterial according to claim 1 comprising: dissolving collagen in an aqueous acidic medium to obtain a collagen solution; adding chitosan to said collagen solution to obtain a collagen-chitosan mixture; adding glycosaminoglycan to said mixture so as to obtain a final solution; removing said aqueous medium from said final solution, to obtain an extracellular matrix.
