Abstract
This biomaterial comprises at least a compound consisting of an association of collagen, chitosan acetylated to a degree of acetylation between about 10 and about 40% and of glycosaminoglycans. It has its application in orthopedics and plastic surgery and for making extracellular matrices for regeneration of nerve cells and bones as well as biocompatible envelopes. A particular application is the making of artificial skin consisting of a dermal layer of the velvet type obtained from biomaterials such as those described above. The process of obtaining this dermal layer consists in adding a collagen solution of the chitosan, then in adding to the collagen-chitosan a mixture of chondroitins 4- and 6-sulfate.
