Abstract
A method for the rapid chemical treatment of autologous connective tissues which enhances biocompatibility by reducing cytotoxicity, immunogenicity and calcification without impairing the mechanical properties of the fixed tissue. The procedure includes a short exposure of the autologous biological tissue to a dialdehyde fixative followed by the rapid neutralization of excess aldehyde with an aminoacid solution.
