The paper presents a method for elaboration and characterization some chitosan-gelatine membranes with different collagen gelatine mass ratio, cross-linked with glutaraldehyde (GA) and coupled with extract plants. The aqueous extracts obtained from these plants were analyzed in terms of biologically active substances content (amino acids, polyphenols and phytosterols). The investigation for all obtained membranes involves: SEM microscopy, porosity, degradation test, contact angles measurement, hemolisys and antibacterian index determination.
