Publication number: 20220039937Abstract: A device for maintaining or achieving soft tissue expansion applicable to any body region already temporarily expanded including: an adhesive element deformable and capable of adapting to the shape of this body region, and which can then itself become mechanically rigid enough to resist tendency of the expanded tissue to recoil or to which a second material can be applied to form a stent adapted to the shape of the body area to provide the necessary structural rigidity to prevent recoil of the expansion and thereby induce its retention of its expanded shape after the stent is removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2021Publication date: February 10, 2022Applicant: KhouRigotti, LLCInventors: Roger K.

Patent number: 8858628Abstract: A tissue expansion device implanted in a non-activated state over a region of desired tissue growth. Once implanted and positioned the device is activated creating a supporting structure that creates a convex shaped dome over the underlying tissue. The convex shaped dome formed by the tissue expansion device places a tensile stress against the underlying tissue that promotes tissue growth. Alone or with the introduction of tissue enhancing agents and/or adipose tissue, new tissue within the convex shaped void grows until a balance is achieved eliminating the induced stress. Periodically the tissue expansion devices is again activated and enlarged creating an even larger void. Again, the newly enlarged void places additional tensile stress on the underlying tissue thus repeating the cycle of new tissue growth. Once the desired amount of tissue growth has been achieved the device is deactivated and removed.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2007Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Allergan, Inc.Inventors: Gino Rigotti, Guido Baroni

Publication number: 20090181104Abstract: A tissue transfer method for reconstruction and augmentation of soft tissue. The method includes harvesting adipose tissue from a patient. The harvested tissue is processed via centrifugation to isolate a purified subset of the adipose tissue including separating and removing a substantial amount of triglycerides from the harvested adipose tissue. The centrifugation may be performed to cause separation of water from the purified adipose tissue and to cause separation of oil from mature adipocytes. Specifically, the spin rates may be selected to be high enough to cause lesions in the mature adipocytes that results in the release of the oil. The method continues with implanting the purified adipose tissue into the patient at a breast or other area identified for reconstruction or augmentation. The implanting is performed based on an injection pathway model that defines injection point locations and a number of injection pathway directions from each point.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2008Publication date: July 16, 2009Inventors: Gino Rigotti, Guido Baroni
