• The use of biological materials in construction of bioprostheses requires the application of different chemical or physical procedures of fixation increasing bioprostheses resistance to enzymatic or chemical degradation and reducing their antigenicity. Methods typically concentrate on creating additional intra- and intermolecular chemical bonds between collagen molecules. This review focuses on the various methods of stabilization of collagenous tissues including chemical fixatives and physical agents.
