Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/1996/040301

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A man-made hair having on its surface a biocompatible layer formed by chemically bonding collagen to a graft polymer chain introduced into the surface. When this hair is directly implanted into the human skin, a collagen layer (11) as the biocompatible layer fixed to the surface of a man-made hair (10) having a hair root (12) is assimilably integrated with collagens present in the epidermis (4), the corium (5), the subcutaneous tissue (6), and the aponeurotic galea (7), thus firmly fixing the man-made hair. As the implanted hair does not cause down growth even after the lapse of time, it is highly resistant to the invasion of pathogenic bacteria and improved in the rate of fixation after implantation.
