Product Description Type I bovine collagen, lyophilized fibrous powder, Catalog Number 5162, is extracted from bovine flexor tendon with the raw material sourced from closed/controlled herds of animals. Because the collagen is extracted from tendon, the material is more naturally crosslinked. The collagen is polymeric insoluble collagen. The manufacturing processes comply with stringent quality standards that have proven to yield a high quality product with lot-to-lot consistency. This product has a purity of >96% with Type II and Type III collagens not detectable. This product is supplied as a lyophilized fibrous powder in a 1 gram package size. Bioburden and endotoxin levels are tested – this product is not considered sterile. This collagen product is naturally cross-linked yielding a robust material for applications which require structure and strength. This product can be readily prepared into such forms as tissue scaffolds, foams, sponges, suspensions, coatings, putties, films and sheets but does not form hydrogels. Using typical cross-linking methods, this material can be tuned for optimal in vivo resorption. This collagen product is ideal for tissue engineering applications and uses with inorganic and biomaterials. The product is provided in user-friendly packaging for use and storage. Avoid extended open-air exposure to environment since this material is hygroscopic.
