Summary The collagen content and the bursting pressure of human fetal membranes was measured for full term spontaneously ruptured, full term artificially ruptured and prematurely ruptured membranes. The bursting pressure of the prematurely ruptured membranes was significantly higher than the membranes which ruptured spontaneously at term. No significant difference was found in the collagen contents.
