There are many types of collagen; Collagen of bone and skin generally belong to type I collagen; Collagen of cartilage belongs to type II; Type III collagen is located in embryo skin; Collagen of cell basilar membrane belongs to type IV. Collagen has a unique triple helix structure which makes its molecular structure be very stable and make it have low immunogenicity and good biodegradability property. Collagen, as a natural biological resource, has a unique biocompatible and biodegradable property which cannot be matched by any synthetic polymer material today. In addition, it has other features such as hig
