Controlled absorption biograft material for autologous tissue support

An implantable tissue grafting medical system and material using a combination of bio-absorbable and non bio-absorbable fibers and materials such as Poly Glycolic Acid (PGA) and polyester (PET), provides a permeable mesh or weave of fibers with an initial interstice size and permeability factor suitable to initial implant requirements, and a pre-engineered bio-absorption pattern and rate that controls the gradual expansion of interstice size within the mesh or weave in one or two dimensions up to a pre-engineered maximum interstice size, consistent with the anticipated rate of tissue regeneration on the implant, while retaining a primary grid or circumferential pattern of non-absorbable fibers at the maximum interstice size for supporting the new tissue for an extended period. Various means for combining materials to obtain initial interstice size, pattern and permeability, with the desired absorption pattern and rate, and the desired end point interstice size and spacing, are also disclosed.

Method and apparatus for tissue grafting and copying

Exemplary embodiments of apparatus and method for obtaining one or more portions of biological tissue (“micrografts”) to form grafts are provided. For example, a hollow tube can be inserted into tissue at a donor site, and a pin provided within the tube can facilitate controlled removal of the micrograft from the tube. Micrografts can be harvested and directly implanted into an overlying biocompatible matrix through coordinated motion of the tube and pin. A needle can be provided around the tube to facilitate a direct implantation of a micrograft into a remote recipient site or matrix. The exemplary apparatus can include a plurality of such tubes and pins for simultaneous harvesting and / or implanting of a plurality of micrografts. The harvested micrografts can have a small dimension, e.g., less than about 1 mm, which can promote healing of the donor site and / or viability of the harvested tissue.

Ceramic implant placement systems and superelastic suture retention loops for use therewith

ActiveUS20170000476A1Twisting of the sutures or graft is preventedAvoid distortionSuture equipmentsDiagnosticsTissue GraftingBone tissue
Described herein is a simplified placement system and method for a tissue graft anchor by which a surgeon may introduce one or more sutures into a hole in a boney tissue, apply a precise amount of tension to the sutures to advance a soft tissue graft to a desired location, and then advance the anchor into the bone, preferably while maintaining the requisite pre-determined suture tension and without introducing spin to the suture. Particularly preferred embodiments allow for the placement of small diameter knotless anchors. For example, the implant placement system may include a cannulated tensioning device having disposed therein an elongate member of a suitably elastic metallic or polymeric material, such as nitinol, that includes at its distal end a loop of material suitable for suture retention. The implant placement system may further include high tensile strength knotless anchors provided with internal drive features that coordinate with torque-transmitting features unique to the driver devices of the present invention.

Compositions and methods featuring il-6 and il-21 antagonists

The present invention features compositions for inhibiting both the IL-6 and the IL-21 pathways and methods of making and using such compositions. Our work to date indicates the importance of the redundancy of IL-6 and IL-21 to perform certain crucial functions. The pathways can be inhibited by inhibiting the ligands (i.e., IL-6 and IL-21) and / or their respective receptors (i.e., the IL-6 receptor and IL-21 receptor). Alternatively, or in addition, upstream and downstream effectors in the IL-6 and IL-21 pathways can be blocked. The agents used can be antibody or antibody-based proteins or peptides including circulating receptors, optionally coupled to an immunoglobulin or a portion thereof (e.g., the Fc region). Also provided are methods for using the compositions, for example, in organ transplantation, tissue grafting, or autoimmune disorders.

Tissue grafting method

The tissue grafting method relates to a tissue graft material, a method of preparing the material, and a method of using the material. The tissue graft material is made from the tunica serosa of the small intestine of a warm-blooded vertebrate, which has been delaminated from the tunica muscularis, tunica submucosa, and the tunica mucosa of the intestinal tissue. The tissue graft material may be perforated by discrete punctures. The tissue graft material is dehydrated by air drying or vacuum drying, sterilized with ethylene oxide, and stored in a hermetically sealed enclosure at room temperature until needed, having an indefinite storage life. When needed, the tissue graft material is rehydrated, cut to match the size of the wound, and applied to the wound. The graft may be overlaid with nylon mesh, or bandaged with an elastic tubular dressing.
