Publication number: 20210282915Abstract: A composite hollow lumen and a method for producing the lumen are provided. The lumen includes a tubular textile formed of yarns having a first tensile strength and a matrix material in which the tubular textile is embedded to form a conduit having a bore and a sidewall substantially impermeable to liquid. The matrix material has a second tensile strength that is lower than the first tensile strength. The method for producing a composite lumen includes selecting yarns having a first tensile strength, selecting an elastomeric matrix material having a second tensile strength that is lower that the first tensile strength, forming a tubular textile of the yarns, and embedding the tubular textile in the matrix material to form a conduit having a bore and conduit walls that are substantially impermeable to liquid. The elastomeric matrix material is a biodegradable or bioresorbable polyester.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2021Publication date: September 16, 2021Inventors: Peter D. GABRIELE, Sean Christopher GLASBY, Jeremy J. HARRIS, Alicia RUTHRAUFF, Swati AMIN, Seth A. WINNER, Ryan HENIFORD, Richard BALTHASER, Emily Y. HO

Patent number: 10610347Abstract: A textile engineered prosthetic includes a continuous tube and at least one band of increased thickness formed over a portion of the continuous tube. The continuous tube includes a body portion and a bifurcated portion. The band of increased thickness forms a biomimetic surface. A bioreactor system includes a bioreactor container including a first compartment, a second compartment, a first membrane separating the first and second compartments, a third compartment, and a second membrane separating the second and third compartments. The bioreactor system also includes a woven textile prosthetic integrated with the bioreactor container in the second compartment to form a single bioreactor unit. A furcated textile article includes a continuous tube having a body portion and a furcated portion bifurcated N times from the body portion. The furcated textile article is a continuous woven piece formed from N shuttles of a shuttle loom, where N is at least two.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2016Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: THE SECANT GROUP, LLCInventors: Eric H. Whiting, Seth A. Winner, Emily Y. Ho, Peter Gabriele, Jeremy J. Harris
