  • Patent number: 9101688
    Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering biological products to different surgical sites during surgery are described. The biological product is encapsulated or contained within a containment system comprising a carrier such as collagen carrier. The containment system may be formed of water soluble polymers that are natural, synthetic or semisynthetic, provided into films that may be made or molded into various shapes and sizes, and that may be manipulated to confer specific properties of such films. The water soluble films may be processed into capsules, packets or other containers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 26, 2008
    Date of Patent: August 11, 2015
    Assignee: Arthrex, Inc.
    Inventors: J. Maxwell Teets, Christopher Bare, Tara L. Schaneville
  • Patent number: 8858560
    Abstract: Methods of arthroscopic harvesting of bone marrow aspirate from bone joints and therapeutic application of the bone marrow aspirate in a bone joint. The method of harvesting includes extracting bone marrow from a joint, adding a biomaterial, and adding clotting agent to form a clot.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20090060975
    Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering biological products such as bone marrow aspirate (BMA) to different surgical sites during surgery (for example, arthroscopic surgery). The biological product is encapsulated or contained within a containment system comprising a carrier such as collagen carrier. The containment system may be formed of water soluble polymers, either natural, synthetic or semisynthetic, provided into films that may be made or molded into various shapes and sizes, and that may be manipulated to confer specific properties (such as solubility or degradation rates according to a specific environment, for example) of such films. The water soluble films may be processed into capsules, packets or other containers.
