Abstract

See full text

A method of treating aldehyde-tanned biological tissue minimizes in vivo calcification and reduces cytotoxicity without impairing the mechanical strength of the tanned tissue. The method includes the step of treating the aldehyde-tanned biological tissue with at least one liquid polyol having the formula: ##STR1## where R is CH.sub.2 OH or an alkyl group, and R' is H, an alkyl group or an O-acyl where the acyl is C.sub.2 -C.sub.9 or a carboxyalkyl; or ##STR2## where R is H or an alkyl group, and R' is H, an alkyl group, O-alkyl or O-carboxyalkyl. Preferred polyols are propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 2,3-butylene glycol and glycerol, and the polyol is preferably a diol.
