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 14):
The method of  claim 13 , wherein the gelatin sponge carries one or more of the following:\n a human bFGF homologue having cysteine-to-serine substitutions at positions 69 and 87 of human bFGF; a human bFGF homologue having a segment consisting of 9 amino acids added to the N-terminus of human bFGF; a human bFGF homologue having a segment consisting of 11 amino acids added to the N-terminus of human bFGF; and/or a plurality of agents selected from the group consisting of a bFGF and a bFGF homologue.
