76 results about "Collagen fibril" patented technology

Collagen fibrils are semi-crystalline aggregates of collagen molecules. These are actually bundles of fibrils. Each of the tissues has a different arrangement of these fibrils to give it different structure, shape and tensile strength. In bone for example, entire collagen triple helices lie in a parallel, staggered array.

Methods for repairing and regenerating human dura mater

A method of using a substantially non-porous equine collagen foil to repair and regenerate dura mater tissue of mammals when the dura mater tissue is damaged as a result of injury, tumors, surgery, and the like. The non-porous equine collagen foil comprises collagen fibrils which provides a replacement dura mater composition that is elastic, liquid-tight, and which has a high tensile strength. The non-porous equine collagen foil is furthermore resorbable and provides a biomatrix, wherein a neodura is rapidly formed which becomes indistinguishable from the autologous dura mater in a matter of weeks. The process for making the equine collagen foil reduces the likelihood of disease transmission.

Method for preparing corneal donor tissue for refractive eye surgery utilizing the femtosecond laser

A method of accurately fabricating a non-human donor corneal tissue for implantation into a recipient human cornea, the method comprising the steps of: removing corneal tissue from a donor with a femtosecond laser; placing the corneal tissue in a fixative solution for a selected time interval to cross-link the collagen fibrils in the tissue and prevent swelling of the corneal tissue; and shaping the tissue to provide a conical inlay of a selected shape and thickness having one or more radial extensions. The method is such that the corneal inlay may be attached to the peripheral corneal and / or the sclera. The method is such that the corneal inlay may be stored for a period of up to two years prior to attachment.

Methods to increase permeability of corneal epithelium and destabilize stromal collagen fibril network

Methods of increasing the permeability of corneal epithelium to facilitate the diffusion of agents into the collagen fibrillar network of the stroma are provided. Used in combination, these methods open the epithelium to facilitate diffusion of stabilization molecules into the stroma and dissociate bridging molecules from stromal collagen fibers, thereby priming the collagen fibrillar network for restabilization by stabilization molecules. These methods can be used to increase the effectiveness and longevity of non-invasive corneal reshaping, such as orthokeratology, for correcting myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

A biofabricated material containing a network of crosslinked collagen fibrils is disclosed. This material is composed of collagen which is also a major component of natural leather and is produced by a process of fibrillation of collagen molecules into fibrils, crosslinking the fibrils and lubricating the crosslinked fibrils. Unlike natural leathers, this biofabricated material exhibits non-anisotropic (not directionally dependent) physical properties, for example, a sheet of biofabricated material can have substantially the same elasticity or tensile strength when stretched or stressed in different directions. Unlike natural leather, it has a uniform texture that facilitates uniform uptake of dyes and coatings. Aesthetically, it produces a uniform and consistent grain for ease of manufacturability. It can have substantially identical grain, texture and other aesthetic properties on both sides distinct from natural leather where the grain increases from one side (e.g., distal surface) to the other (proximal inner layers).

Method and System for Modeling Bone Structure

The present invention relates to scanning confocal microscopy used to systematically quantify characteristic collagen fibril orientations by position within the lamellar thickness of secondary osteons along the osteon radial direction. Fully calcified lamellar specimens appear either extinct or bright in cross-section under circularly polarized light, and can be isolated from embedded osteon, flattened, and examined along the radial thickness direction of the original embedded osteon. Collagen orientation is measured from confocal image stacks. Extinct and bright lamellae display distinct patterns of collagen orientation distribution. Relative counts of collagen fibrils that are longitudinal to the osteon axis in extinct lamellae, transverse to the osteon axis in bright lamellae, and oblique to the osteon axis in both lamellar types, show parabolic distribution through the osteon radial direction.
