What is Collagen Type 0?
Collagen Type 0 is a chemically ancient medical-grade Collagen for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. As it is a non-hazardous marine-derived biomaterial, it does not suffer from religious issues of use and offers a safer route to regulators by being free from the risk of disease and prions. Studies show that Collagen Type 0 is non-immunogenic, pro-angiogenic, pro-tissue neogenic.
-
What are the collagen characteristics?
The essential characteristics of this fibrillar collagen are identifiable using techniques such as: infrared spectroscopy, circular dichroism, amino acid analysis and electron microscopy that highlight its triple helical structure, fibril forming capabilities and stability.
-
What applications?
Due to its chemical simplicity Collagen Type 0 can be used for a wide range of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. Some core applications include wound, bone, orthopaedic, dental.
-
What formulations?
Our specialist develops collagen in a wide range of formulations to suit any application or research goal. Formulations include but are not limited to; liquid, thin films, scaffolds, dressings, fibres, patches, implants, flowable matrix and hydrogels/Bioinks.
