| 20080217263 | Angiogenesis initation and growth - Methods for promoting angiogenesis comprising administering platelet-rich plasma to a site and stimulating the site with an electromagnetic field. Platelets include platelet-rich plasma and compositions can further include stem cells such as adipose stromal cells and cells derived from bone marrow aspirate. Methods also comprise isolating platelets from a patient's blood, forming a composition including the platelets, delivering the composition to a site in need of treatment, and electrically stimulating the site. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080217264 | Apparatus And Method For Separating And Concentrating Fluids Containing Multiple Components - An apparatus is disclosed that allows for separating and collecting a fraction of a sample. The apparatus, when used with a centrifuge, allows for the creation of at least three fractions in the apparatus. It also provides for a new method of extracting the buffy coat phase from a whole blood sample. A buoy system that may include a first buoy portion and a second buoy member operably interconnected may be used to form at least three fractions from a sample during a substantially single centrifugation process. Therefore, the separation of various fractions may be substantially quick and efficient. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20090192528 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR HERNIA REPAIR - A device for repairing a hernia defect in a patient, the device having a biocompatible mesh material having a treated surface and a tissue composition coated on at least a portion of the treated surface, where the tissue composition originates from the patient. A method of preparing a surgical mesh for repairing a hernia defect, comprises placing a tissue specimen into a container, centrifuging the container to separate the specimen into at least two fractions, then drawing a selected fraction from the container, treating a surface of a biocompatible mesh and coating the surface-treated biocompatible mesh with the selected fraction. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090220482 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR DELIVERING INTERLEUKIN-1 RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST - Methods and compositions generating and using an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra)-rich solution. Methods for generating and isolating interleukin-1 receptor antagonist include incubating a liquid volume of white blood cells and platelets with polyacrylamide beads to produce interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. The interleukin-1 receptor antagonist is isolated from the polyacrylamide beads to obtain the solution rich in interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. Methods for treating a site of inflammation in a patient include administering to the site of inflammation the solution rich in interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20100055087 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR DELIVERING INTERLEUKIN-1 RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST - Methods and compositions generating and using an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra)-rich solution. Methods for generating and isolating interleukin-1 receptor antagonist include incubating adipose tissue and/or adipocytes with polyacrylamide beads to produce interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. The interleukin-1 receptor antagonist is isolated from the polyacrylamide beads to obtain the solution rich in interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. Methods for treating a site of inflammation in a patient include administering to the site of inflammation the solution rich in interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. | 03-04-2010 |
