Abstract
This invention is directed to the sterilization of collagen and collagenous tissue which is to be used for implantation, repair, or use in a mammalian host in the emerging field of tissue engineering. The sterilants are low concentration peracetic acid solutions in either neutral or high ionic strength that prevent or minimizes the swelling of collagen or collagenous tissue so that the sterilized tissue retains its structural integrity and bioremodelable properties.
