AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method of increasing the flexibility of a cartilage sample by mechanically disrupting it to a certain extent. This can involve creating holes or cracks that go through the entire length of the sample or just a portion of it. The purpose of this patent is to provide a way to make cartilage samples easier to manipulate and work with in research and development.

Problems solved by technology

Articular cartilage injury remains one of the major unsolved problems in orthopedics.
However, many of these surgeries yield suboptimal results.
If the lining becomes worn or damaged resulting in lesions, joint movement may be painful or severely restricted.
Whereas damaged bone typically can regenerate successfully, hyaline cartilage regeneration is quite limited.
Although the blood clot introduces inflammatory cytokines, growth factors and MSCs to fill the defect, the process fails to produce articular cartilage and instead stimulates the production of fibrocartilage scar tissue, made from collagen type I. Fibrocartilage has poor long-term biomechanical performance, causes abnormal bone growth, and increases risk of osteoarthritis.

example 1

Isolation of Femoral Condyles and Tibial Plateau

[0272]A human knee joint was obtained, as depicted in FIG. 1.

[0273]The outer surfaces of the knee joint were cleaned with iodine (10% povidione-iodine solution, Purdue, “Betadine”) without contacting the cartilage with iodine. The knee joint was dissected to separate the femur, tibia and fibula without damaging the cartilage surfaces. Soft tissue (adipose, muscle, fascia, ligaments and tendons) were removed to expose the articular cartilage surfaces on tibial plateau and femoral condyles.

[0274]The portions containing the articular cartilage (tibial plateau and the condyles of the femur) were chilled by placing in chilled saline (0.9% Sodium Chloride irrigation solution, USP) on a cold plate.

example 2

Isolating Cartilage Plugs

[0275]Femur condoyles and tibial plateau were obtained as detailed in Example 1. Osteochondral plugs having diameters of about 1 cm or about 2 cm were obtained from the femur condoyles and tibial plateau. During isolation of the plugs, the condoyles and tibial plateau were kept moist and chilled by periodic immersion in chilled saline or wiped with a wipe soaked in chilled saline. The isolated plugs were then chilled by placement in chilled saline.

[0276]The osteochondral plugs were obtained using a tissue punch while avoiding any areas of damaged cartilage. Specifically, tissue punches with diameters of 1 cm or 2 cm were used to remove whole plugs of cartilage and underlying bone from the articular surface.

example 3

Isolating a Cartilage Sample from Subchondral Bone and Calcified Cartilage

[0277]Osteochondral plugs were obtained as detailed in Example 2. The subchondral bone and calcified cartilage was removed from the osteochondral plugs to provide cartilage samples in the form of cartilage disks. During this process, the cartilage was chilled periodically with chilled saline to prevent overheating.

[0278]Specifically, each osteochondral plug was held securely and the subchondral bone layer was cut (removed) using a sagittal saw with a bent angle blade from the layer of cartilage. Once the subchondral bone was removed, any remaining bone and calcified cartilage was shaved from the underside of the cartilage discs. To prevent overheating, the tissue was frequently immersed in chilled saline throughout the sawing and shaving process. This process was repeated for each of the cartilage disks.

Abstract

This invention provides disrupted cartilage products, methods of manufacturing disrupted cartilage products, and methods of treating a subject comprising administering a cartilage product. The cartilage products are manufactured by a method comprising disrupting a collagen matrix, e.g. to produce a flexible cartilage product. Optionally, the cartilage products comprise viable chondrocytes, bioactive factors such as chondrogenic factors, and a collagen type II matrix. Optionally, the cartilage products are non-immunogenic.
