Abstract

The injection of highly purified bovine collagen makes it possible to replace damaged or missing dermis. The currently available products are relatively stable after injection and serve as a matrix over which the host fibroblasts can grow. Earlier preparations tended more to elicit foreign body reactions and to migrate. The reduced antigenicity of current products results from the enzymatic splitting of the N- and C-terminal peptide chains.
