Calcification of a native collagen membrane.
Spontaneous calcification of a membrane made of native collagen has been investigated. The method permits independent variation of calcium and phosphate concentrations. With increasing phosphate concentration the precipitation calcium-phosphate on the collagen occurs at a conspicuously lower calcium concentration as with a number of other membranes.
