  • Patent number: 6733537
    Abstract: An apparatus for increasing the rate of expansion of tissue area and volume, either in vivo or in vitro, which comprises a tissue expansion device suitable for expansion of tissue and a controller connected to the device, wherein the controller causes the device to subject the tissue to stretching forces that alternatively increase and decrease to provide a series of stretch and relax phases during a period of tissue expansion without intervention of an operator.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 2, 2000
    Date of Patent: May 11, 2004
    Assignee: Reconstructive Technologies, Inc.
