Abstract:
Provided is a tympanic membrane or ear canal regeneration agent comprising a combination of a gelatin sponge that carries basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and a covering material. The covering material is used not only to fix the gelatin sponge to the affected portion, but also for the purpose of preventing drying and infections to provide a culturing environment that is favorable for regenerating tissue isolated from the outside. To promote tissue regeneration, the margin of the tympanic membrane or ear canal defect is preferably freshened in advance.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 17 , wherein:\n an implement selected from the group consisting of a surgical knife and a protein denaturant is used to freshen the margin of the tympanic membrane perforation or ear canal soft tissue defect; and/or a drug having a protein-denaturing effect is administered to the margin of the tympanic membrane perforation or ear canal soft tissue defect, optionally wherein the drug having a protein-denaturing effect is selected from the group consisting of aluminum acetate and a high concentration of local anesthetic, thereby freshening the margin of the tympanic membrane perforation or ear canal soft tissue defect.
