Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical materials, and in particular to a method for preparing a transparent collagen membrane. Background Technology

[0002] Corneal dermoid tumors are the most common benign eye tumors. They are congenital abnormalities resembling tumors, but histologically they are not true tumors, but rather typical keratomas. Corneal dermoid tumors are usually present at birth, slightly increasing in size with age and eye development, accounting for approximately 20% of childhood external eye tumors. Corneal dermoid tumors commonly occur in the infratemporal and temporal regions of the limbus, but can also occur anywhere on the cornea. The limbus is often the center of the dermoid tumor, with one half on the cornea and the other half on the scleral surface. A dermoid tumor is a round, flat, yellow or pink, hill-like mass with visible hair on its surface. Corneal dermoid tumors not only affect appearance, but with age, they can also invade the cornea in the pupillary area, affecting vision and causing corneal astigmatism. As astigmatism gradually increases, vision will decrease, leading to amblyopia.

[0003] Since corneal dermoid tumors are congenital benign corneal tumors, drug treatment is ineffective. If the tumor is small and does not affect visual function or appearance, it can be observed temporarily. If the tumor grows and affects vision or appearance, and the mass is relatively superficial, it should be surgically removed as soon as possible. However, if the wound is not repaired after removal, scarring will remain. Most existing patch materials are decellularized matrix materials, such as dermis and small intestinal mucosa; or synthetic polymer materials, such as PGA, PLGA, PCL, hyaluronic acid, etc. These patch materials appear milky white or slightly yellow after synthesis. If used to repair wound areas, they will cause a significant difference in color between the wound area and the normal cornea and sclera, affecting aesthetics. Each person's scleral color also has slight differences. Custom-made patches for aesthetic purposes are expensive, and the color is difficult to control in the long term. At the same time, the helical structure of artificially synthesized collagen is poor, with some helical structures being incomplete, resulting in poor mechanical properties and excessively rapid degradation.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a patch material with good mechanical properties, degradation properties, and the ability to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the healed tissue. Summary of the Invention
