Description of the Invention (l) The technical field to which the invention belongs The present invention provides a method for producing guided collagen regeneration (Guided Tissue Regeneration, GTR), especially a method having suturab 1 e Preparation method of biocompatible slow-resorbing composite collagen film that can be slowly absorbed. Guidance Tissue Regeneration (GTR) is guided by the prior technology. It is a surgical procedure that is widely used at present, its purpose It is the morphology and function of tissues or organs that are damaged due to disease or trauma to rest or regenerate. In a successful tissue regeneration process, the regenerating tissue must Repopulate in the location and space where the tissue was originally healthy. In particular, in order to make the type and function relationships between different regenerating tissues in the area also be able to be repaired normally, the cells in the area proceed Both division and replication and subsequent differentiation: Must be an orderly and concerted procedure. However, when a void is created in a living tissue due to partial tissue damage, the void will be adjacent and the cell line with the fastest replication speed (Ce 1 1 1 ine).

Description of the invention (2) Take periodontology as an example. In a periodontal lesion, there are four main sources of wound healing cells, which are epithelial cells from the gums (epithe 1 ium). With connective tissue, as well as cells from bone tissue and periodontal ligament, only cells from periodontal ligament have the ability to tissue regeneration. However, because the regeneration rate of epithelial cells is much faster than that of periodontal ligament cells, it makes repair of damaged periodontal ligament tissue very difficult. The aforementioned technology of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) can enable appropriate tissue cells to perform a sequential and consistent division and replication to achieve the purpose of damaging tissue regeneration. To achieve this, barriers are currently placed between the regenerating tissue and the tissue that may interfere with the regenerating tissue until the damaged part of the tissue is completely regenerated and the regenerating Until the organization reaches maturity. Taking the above periodontal lesions as an example, guiding tissue regeneration is to place a biomedical material (Biomat er ia 1) membrane to block epidermal cells from the gums and connective tissue from contacting with the root of the teeth, while allowing only periodontal The growth of ligament cells. Currently, there are two main biomedical materials that are used to guide tissue regeneration. The first is expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (EPTFE) membrane and high-density porous polyethylene (MEDP0R) membrane. Polymer membrane due to the EPTFE membrane

不會被吸收’因此在植入(implanted)體内的這段時間内 可以維持其完整性,因而具有極佳的阻障效果。然而, 該EPTFE膜不可以無限期地置留於體内,因此在進行第一 次手術將該EPTFE膜植入的六至八星期後,需要再進行第 二次手術將之取出。 第一種則是由膠原蛋白(c〇llagen)或是其他聚合物 (polymer),例如p〇lygiycolates,所構成的可吸收 (resorbable)膜’由於該可吸收膜最終會被吸收而於植 入體内消失,因此不需要額外進行一外科手術將之移 除。相對地,該可吸收膜可能無法完整地在體内存在一 段足夠的時間,以引導完成一成功的組織再生程序。 發明内容 因此,本發明之目的即在提供一種具縫合能力 (suturable)以及可被緩慢吸收(slow-resorbing)的生物 相容(biocompatible)複合膠原蛋白膜,以應用於引導組 織再生(GTR)的技術中並解決上述問題。 在本發明之最佳實施例中,本發明方法係先提供一膠原 蛋白膜,並將該膠原蛋白膜浸泡於一包含有膠原蛋白原 料以及GAGs(glycosaminoglycans)的混合溶液中,接著 依序進行一冷凍處理製程、一真空冷凍乾燥製程、一壓 縮製程清洗以及一乾燥製程,然後利用一交聯劑(cross-It will not be absorbed ’so it can maintain its integrity during the implanted period of time and therefore has an excellent barrier effect. However, the EPTFE membrane cannot be left in the body indefinitely. Therefore, six to eight weeks after the first operation of the EPTFE membrane, it is necessary to perform a second operation to remove the EPTFE membrane. The first is a resorbable membrane made of collagen or other polymers, such as poligiycolates, which is implanted because the resorbable membrane will eventually be absorbed. The body disappears, so no additional surgery is required to remove it. In contrast, the absorbable membrane may not remain intact in the body for a sufficient period of time to guide the completion of a successful tissue regeneration procedure. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a biocompatible composite collagen film with suturable and slow-resorbing properties, which can be applied to guide tissue regeneration (GTR).

On the other hand, the composite collagen film of the present invention further contains at least one antibiotic (anti-microbial agent), anti-inflammatory agent (anti-inflammatory agent), or growth factor (growth factor). It releases specific agents required for different courses of treatment, which in turn improves wound healing and tissue regeneration.
