20100198348 | BIOMATERIALS WITH MODIFIED OPTICAL CHARACTER AND METHODS FOR PREPARING AND USING SAME - Described are biocompatible materials treated with a biocompatible substance that embeds within pores of the materials so as to alter the transmittance of radiation through the materials. Remodelable materials such as collagenous ECM materials can be so treated to provide implants that are both remodelable and possess an increased capacity to transmit visible light and/or other forms of radiation. Such constructs find particular use in ophthalmic applications and, in particular cases, as corneal implant materials. | 08-05-2010 |
20100204782 | RADIOPAQUE IMPLANTABLE COLLAGENOUS BIOMATERIAL DEVICE - Disclosed is a medical device ( | 08-12-2010 |
20110076329 | GRAFT PROSTHESIS, MATERIAL AND METHODS - A graft prostheses ( | 03-31-2011 |
20110319868 | METHODS, SUBSTRATES, AND SYSTEMS USEFUL FOR CELL SEEDING OF MEDICAL GRAFTS - Described are methods, cell growth substrates, and devices that are useful in preparing cell-containing graft materials for administration to patients. Tubular passages can be defined in cell growth substrates to promote distribution of cells into the substrates. Also described are methods and devices for preparing cell-seeded graft compositions, methods and devices for preconditioning cell growth substrates prior to application of cells, and cell seeded grafts having novel substrates, and uses thereof. | 12-29-2011 |
20130144356 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING A TISSUE POCKET IN A PATIENT - Certain aspects of this disclosure relate to uniquely constructed medical implants that incorporate an electronic or other medical device. Some illustrative pocket-like implants provide an interior space for receipt of an electronic medical device, and are implantable in a patient with the electronic medical device positioned in the interior space. In one form, an inventive construct includes a remodelable material component that is effective upon implantation to promote cellular invasion and ingrowth into the remodelable material so that it becomes replaced by new patient tissue and so that the electronic medical device becomes surrounded by a new pocket structure comprised of newly generated, functional patient tissue. The electronic medical device will be a pacing device or other cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device in select embodiments. | 06-06-2013 |
20140188250 | MODIFIABLE MEDICAL GRAFTS AND RELATED METHODS AND APPARATUSES - Described are medical graft materials and devices which can be usefully modified with liquid additives such as cell suspensions, bioactive agents, or combinations of these. Also described are methods for making and using these medical graft materials and devices. | 07-03-2014 |
20140275290 | ECM IMPLANT COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS - Described our medical compositions and methods including a particulate extracellular matrix tissue in admixture with sugar. Such medical compositions, in dried forms, can demonstrate enhanced rehydration properties. Medical compositions and products as described herein find particular use in treating diseased and/or damaged tissue, such as wound repair. Related methods of manufacture and use are also described. | 09-18-2014 |
