AlignCol® Matrix is a revolutionary nanostructure product with a 3D oriented collagen fibril matrix which mimics the matrices found in the body. The collagen fibrils are oriented, aligned and organized into nano-scale structures.

Using Fibralign nanoweave collagen-based materials, the purified collagen is deposited onto borosilicate glass chips at a thickness of ~ 1-3 micrometer while aligning the collagen fibrils in an exact orientation.

This product provides aligned-crimped collagen fibrils, which are aligned in the same direction on a lateral plain with additional modulation in orthogonal plane resulting in ‘ridges’ oriented perpendicular to fibril direction. This configuration replicates the organized collagen fibril bundles found in heart, ligament and tendon tissues.

AlignCol® Matrix, aligned-crimped collagen is provided on glass slides that  measure 8 X 15 mm.  An indicator is placed on the glass slide indicating the side on which the aligned collagen matrix is provided. Directions for use provide instruction on the handling of the product.
