The preparation, stability both in vitro and in vivo and resistance to bacterial collagenase of trypsin-purified pig dermal collagen, cross-linked with a range of concentrations of formaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline, was studied using 14C-labeled formaldehyde as a tracer. Washing in phosphate-buffered saline at 37.degree. C produced rapid loss of formaldehyde over 6 wk before stability was reached. After 19 wk washing 12-20% of the initial radioactivity remained, representing 6, 18 and 35 .mu.mol formaldehyde/g of collagen after 21 days reaction with 0.1, 1 and 5% formaldehyde, respectively. Collagen, incorporating stable-bound formaldehyde arising from reaction with formaldehyde in concentrations of 0.5% or over, was totally resistant to bacterial collagenase. The stabilizing effect of formaldehyde cross-linking was also demonstrated by implants of fibrous pig dermal collagen in rats. After 8 wk a significant constant amount of formaldehyde was retained in all implants. There was no net loss of mass over a 24 wk period when pre-treated with 1% formaldehyde, but some loss when pre-treated with 0.1% formaldehyde.
