Abstract
Abstract Collagen-based compositions useful in the attachment of tissues, or the attachment of tissues to synthetic implant materials, are disclosed. The compositions comprise collagen crosslinked using a multifunctionally activated synthetic hydrophilic polymer. A particularly preferred composition comprises fibrillar collagen, a fiber disassembly agent, and a multifunctionally activated synthetic hydrophilic polymer. Methods are disclosed for using the compositions to effect the attachment of a native tissue to the surface of another native tissue, a non-native tissue, or a synthetic implant. Also disclosed are methods of using the compositions to prevent the formation of surgical adhesions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
51 words
A composition comprising fibrillar collagen, a fiber disassembly agent, and a multifunctionally activated synthetic hydrophilic polymer, wherein the fiber disassembly agent is present in an amount sufficient to render the collagen substantially nonfibrillar at pH 7, and wherein the collagen and synthetic polymer covalently bind to form a collagen-synthetic polymer conjugate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
51 words
A composition comprising fibrillar collagen, a fiber disassembly agent, and a multifunctionally activated synthetic hydrophilic polymer, wherein the fiber disassembly agent is present in an amount sufficient to render the collagen substantially nonfibrillar at pH 7, and wherein the collagen and synthetic polymer covalently bind to form a collagen-synthetic polymer conjugate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein the fiber disassembly agent is selected from the group consisting of: a biocompatible alcohol, an amino acid, an inorganic salt, and a carbohydrate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The composition of claim 2, wherein the fiber disassembly agent is a biocompatible alcohol selected from the group consisting of glycerol and propylene glycol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein the multifunctionally activated synthetic hydrophilic polymer is a multifunctionally activated polyethylene glycol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
