Abstract

In a previous study, fibers were made from acid-soluble collagen coagulated in ammonium hydroxide solutions and cross-linked by glutaraldehyde1. The work is now extended to collagen modified by the addition of small amounts of methyl cellulose. Such fibers might be suitable as absorable sutures if the physical properties can be enhanced to a level competitive with silk and catgut2,3,.
