| 20100249947 | POROUS IMPLANT WITH EFFECTIVE EXTENSIBILITY AND METHODS OF FORMING AN IMPLANT - The implant includes an outer layer of ePTFE which exhibits extensibility normally not associated with ePTFE. The ePTFE is reduced in length by deforming the fibrils between the nodes while maintaining the nodes in a substantially flat configuration. Various implant configurations that can include the outer layer described are also disclosed. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100249946 | TRANSCUTANEOUSLY ADJUSTABLE FLUID-FILLED IMPLANTS - Disclosed are implantable tissue augmentation devices, methods, and associated tools. The devices include an inflatable body, having a self-sealing membrane operably attached to a wall of the implant. The self-sealing membrane provides access for filling the device, and includes a first layer comprising a fabric. The fabric has a first plurality of yarn strands positioned in a first direction, and a second plurality of yarn strands positioned in a second direction. The first and second plurality of yarn strands intersect to form a matrix pattern with cells defined by free spaces between yarn strands. The membrane also includes a first elastomeric material configured to fill the cells as well as form a coating over the first and second plurality of yarn strand, and a second layer comprising a second elastomeric material. The second elastomeric material has a lower durometer than the first elastomeric material. Kits and systems are also disclosed. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20090024227 | METHODS OF FORMING A MULTILAYER TISSUE IMPLANT TO CREATE AN ACCORDION EFFECT ON THE OUTER LAYER - Disclosed are implantable tissue augmentation devices, methods, and associated tools. The devices include an inflatable body, having an inner layer and an outer layer. A valve is provided for permitting the introduction of and retaining inflation media. At least one pull tab is provided on an end of the implant, to assist in positioning the implant. Kits and systems are also disclosed. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090024226 | METHODS OF FORMING A TISSUE IMPLANT HAVING A TISSUE CONTACTING LAYER HELD UNDER COMPRESSION - Disclosed are implantable tissue augmentation devices, methods, and associated tools. The devices include an inflatable body, having an inner layer and an outer layer. A valve is provided for permitting the introduction of and retaining inflation media. At least one pull tab is provided on an end of the implant, to assist in positioning the implant. Kits and systems are also disclosed. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090024215 | MULTILAYER TISSUE IMPLANT HAVING A COMPLIANCE THAT SIMULATES TISSUE - Disclosed are implantable tissue augmentation devices, methods, and associated tools. The devices include an inflatable body, having an inner layer and an outer layer. A valve is provided for permitting the introduction of and retaining inflation media. At least one pull tab is provided on an end of the implant, to assist in positioning the implant. Kits and systems are also disclosed. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20080275569 | Tissue Augmentation Device - A medical device and methods for filling tissue are disclosed. The device has a first configuration for delivery into tissue to be filled and a second configuration in which the device either expands, or is forced to expand within the tissue to be filled. The exterior profile of the expanded device may be customized along its length, to achieve a desired result. The device is adapted to be placed in the skin, and may be used to reduce facial wrinkles or augment facial features such as the lips. | 11-06-2008 |
