Compressed high density fibrous polymers suitable for implant

An embodiment of the present invention may be made by the following steps: providing a mixture comprising a plurality of fibers, a lubricant, and a suspension fluid, with the suspension fluid filling a void space between said fibers and subjecting said mixture to at least one compressive force. The compressive force causes the migration and alignment of said fibers; and may remove substantially all of the suspension fluid from said mixture. The mixture may further comprise a biologically active agent, or a reinforcing agent.

Bone anchored surgical mesh

A bone-anchored surgical mesh has slot-like anchoring members that allow for the variable placement of screws and other bone fasteners. This permits the surgeon discretion in the placement of bone fasteners used to attach the mesh to the patient's bone. The elongate openings of the anchoring members allow for a sliding motion between the bone fasteners and the anchoring members, and facilitates positioning and articulation of the mesh. The anchoring members may include bushings to aid the sliding motion of the anchoring member on the bone fastener. In one embodiment, the mesh consists of shorter modular strips that overlap each other such that a single bone fastener is passed through two overlapping anchoring members to lock the two modular mesh strips together. Additional modular mesh strips can be added on at either end, as desired, to provide the desired length of dural coverage.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Dressing

A wound dressing suitable for use in negative pressure wound therapy system includes a cover layer adapted to establish a reservoir over a wound in which a negative pressure may be maintained. The cover layer includes an opening therein through which atmospheric gases and wound exudates may pass through the cover layer. A vacuum port is affixed to the cover layer, and establishes a substantially fluid tight seal about the opening in the cover layer. The vacuum port includes a hollow interior in fluid communication with the opening in the cover layer and a connector to facilitate connection to a vacuum source. A packing member is affixed to the cover layer, to provide a wound dressing that may be applied in a single step process. The packing member is adapted to fill the wound and support the cover layer when a negative pressure is applied to the reservoir.

Self-adhesive ventilating waterproofing membrane

A self-adhesive ventilating modified bituminous composite that comprises an unmodified bituminous or a polymer modified bituminous compound on the front side and a self-adhesive bituminous compound on the backside of a reinforcement carrier sheet is provided. A transfer lacquer printed release liner is applied to the tacky self-adhesive layer during manufacture. The transfer lacquer printed release liner is removed from the membrane just prior to use, such that the exposed surface of the membrane is placed directly onto the upper surface of the roof deck, base sheet or underlayment; force is applied directly to the sheet to enhance the adhesive bond between the tacky self-adhesive compound and the underlying substrate at approximately 50% of the area of contact in order to achieve a ‘partially-adhering’ membrane. Such partial attachment of the composite to the underlying substrate provides a channel for the lateral escape of any pressure or latent moisture in the substrate, thereby extending the life of the roofing system. The present invention offers simplicity and improved efficiencies in manufacturing and relates generally to residential and commercial roofing membranes.
