Abstract

A process for preparing a coherent porous collagen sheet material is comprised of forming natural insoluble particulate collagen in substantially pure form and suspending the particulate collagen in a weak aqueous organic acid solution while maintaining the collagen in particulate form. The suspension is freeze-dried to form a coherent porous native collagen sheet material which is useful as a wound dressing, burn dressing, hemostatic sheet or the like.
