6 results about "Repairing tissues" patented technology

A suturing apparatus may include a shaft member having a lumen, and a first jaw member and a second jaw member that move between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A distal portion of the first jaw member may be pivotably connected to a distal portion of the second jaw member, and the distal portion of the second jaw member may have a distal opening. The suturing apparatus may further include a needle translates through the lumen of the shaft member and carries a suture, and a retention member in the distal opening of the second jaw member to remove the suture from the needle. The suture may be wrapped around the distal portion of the second jaw member. The suturing apparatus may be included in a suturing system having a suture. The suturing apparatus may be used in a method of repairing tissue.

Compositions and methods for treatment of burns and other wounds. A unitary product containing all ingredients of the compositions may deliver composition ingredients to a surface of a burn / wound treatment site. The unitary product may include an ointment. The unitary product may include a cream. The unitary product may include a hydrogel. The compositions may include antibiotic ethacridine lactate. The compositions may include metal-containing species. The compositions may include a moisture-modulating agent. The compositions, when applied to the site, may constitute a barrier overlying the surface. The unitary product may deliver the antibiotic onto the surface. The unitary product may deliver the metal-containing species onto the surface. Each of the antibiotic and the metal-containing species may positively modulate wound bed and perilesional cellular processes supportive of healing. Initial testing and use studies have yielded good wound closures, with minimal-to-no scarring and high regain of function of repaired tissues.

A surgical mesh comprising a photocurable adhesive coating for repairing tissue damage is disclosed After applying the surgical mesh to a patient, the photocurable adhesive is activated under a light source which provides enhanced fixation between the surgical mesh and the damaged tissue. The surgical mesh may be removed and repositioned without substantially losing its adhesive properties and is suitable for treatment of hernia.
