Benefits of technology

[0005]The structural, chemical and biochemical properties are retained, the collagenous tissue membrane is cleaned removing the veins, arteries and Wharton's jelly without exposure to harsh chemicals. The collagenous tissue membrane is soaked in normal saline solution under mild agitation for a predetermined time to structurally increase tear resistance of the membrane. The collagenous tissue membrane is free of meconium. The collagenous tissue membrane has a general transparent or translucent appearance of a clear or slightly pink color.

Problems solved by technology

However, the use of the umbilical cord tissue as a source for wound covering has been avoided because of the very thick nature of the tubular umbilical cord tissue and the fact that it is such a thick material it is not considered readily absorbable during a normal soft tissue healing.

Embodiment Construction

[0037]The present invention encompasses both the manufacturing of various embodiments of final transplant products 10 and the transplant products derived from human umbilical cords (UC) 2. The final umbilical cord product 10 is categorized as a thick layer of a collagenous membrane 20 of dried umbilical cord 2. The transplant product 10 is a semi-transparent collagenous membrane. All donated umbilical cords, preferably, are derived from cesarean section delivered placentas recovered from young, healthy consenting mothers according to established procedures from a recovering facility. Application of final processed transplant products is for homologous use as a soft tissue barrier or wound covering or for other internal wound healing applications. The tissue is for single patient use and is to only be handled by a licensed physician.

[0038]Processing of the transplant products, as shown in the photographs of FIGS. 1-7, was conducted at approved biomedical facilities. During the proces...

Abstract

A shaped transplant product 10 derived from human umbilical cord 2 has a collagenous tissue membrane 20 derived from an umbilical cord 2 made essentially of thick collagenous tissue which is shaped to form a soft tissue barrier or wound covering or other internal or external wound healing attachment. The shaped transplant product 10S has a defined memory shape that can be configured to pass through a hollow cylindrical trocar or arthroscopy device for implantation. The defined memory shape can be a hollow elongated split tube. The split tube along the split can have abutting edges. The split tube can have an open split forming a gap between edges adjacent the open slit. The split tube can have overlapping edges. The split tube can have an elongated body having a center portion tapering toward opposing smaller ends to form a pre-set shape.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation in part of co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 14 / 827,445 entitled “Umbilical Cord Transplant Product” filed on Aug. 17, 2015.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]This invention relates to a transplant product derived from human umbilical cord and shaped for use as a soft tissue barrier or wound covering or other internal or external healing attachment and the products method of manufacture.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The use of placental tissue to harvest thin membranes of amnion or chorion is well known. The use of umbilical cords to harvest stem cells is also well documented. However, the use of the umbilical cord tissue as a source for wound covering has been avoided because of the very thick nature of the tubular umbilical cord tissue and the fact that it is such a thick material it is not considered readily absorbable during a normal soft tissue healing. All of these adverse preconceived notions in the medical community may be...
