Abstract:
1. A bioscaffold produced by the process of chemically treating a natural animal tissue with simultaneous use of an oxidant and detergent, wherein an extracellular matrix component of said bioscaffold has an average porosity that is at least 20% greater than the average porosity of said extracellular matrix component of said natural animal tissue prior to said treating, wherein the average porosity that is at least 20% greater results from controlled dissolving of the interstitial structure of the bioscaffold with said simultaneous use of an oxidant and detergent; and wherein said natural animal tissue is selected from the group consisting of muscle, tendon, nerve, bone, meniscus, cartilage, intervertebral discs, and ligament tissue.
