The invention discloses an oxidized
sodium alginate cross-linked collagen
suture line and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: by taking nutria
tail tendons as raw materials, removing immunogenic components by virtue of synergistic treatment of
pepsin and
trypsin, and cross-linking with an oxidized
sodium alginate solution through a
Schiff base covalent bond, so as to form the oxidized
sodium alginate cross-linked collagen
suture line. Oxidized
sodium alginate is innovatively adopted as a cross-linking agent, on one hand,
Schiff base covalent bonds are formed through
aldehyde groups of the oxidized
sodium alginate and amino groups of collagen molecules, so that the
mechanical property is enhanced, on the other hand, an energy dissipation network is constructed through dynamic interaction among
polysaccharide molecules, and the stretching resistance and enzymolysis resistance of the
suture line are remarkably improved. The obtained oxidized
sodium alginate crosslinked collagen suture line has excellent mechanical performance, degradation resistance and good
biocompatibility, and a new strategy is provided for development of
absorbable suture materials.
