This study presents the use of human type IV collagen film in myringoplasty in dogs. Evaluation criteria were clinical (repeated otoscopies) and histological (histological analysis of cicatrised membranes). This new biomaterial should seem to be a technological advance on temporal bone aponevrosis or perichondria auto-grafts. This study constitutes the necessary preliminary research to any application in man.
