Patent number: 11980536Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to membranous tissue grafts comprising one or more pre-made attachment points. The one or more pre-made attachment points may include pre-made markings and/or pre-made suture holes. The membranous tissue grafts can be in the form of a tube. The membranous tissue grafts can also be rectangular in shape and can be used in a nerve repair by wrapping the severed or damaged nerve. In some embodiments, the membranous tissue grafts are suitable for repairing severed nerves that have a short gap or no gap with a gap of less than 5 mm between the severed stumps. Accordingly, methods are provided for repairing a damaged or severed nerve by implanting the membranous tissue grafts on to the damaged or severed nerve.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Axogen CorporationInventors: Curt Andrew Deister, Jonathan Andrew Tinnemeyer, Kirk Michael Grayam, Shamus Hillier

Patent number: 11937735Abstract: A food station includes a base configured to support a food product, a frame coupled to the base and including a longitudinal member having a length extending in a longitudinal direction, and a heat strip module coupled to the longitudinal member. The heat strip module includes a housing, a heating element coupled to the housing, and a reflector coupled to the housing. The heat strip module is at least one of (a) selectively rotatable relative to the longitudinal member between a first orientation and a second orientation and configured to emit the energy in both the first orientation and the second orientation or (b) selectively repositionable along the length of the longitudinal member between a first position and a second position and configured to emit the energy in both the first position and the second position.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: The Vollrath Company, L.L.C.Inventors: Jill Hundley, Thomas David VanDerPuy, Jeffrey T.

Publication number: 20200139689Abstract: Disclosed is a textile comprising a woven fabric and a layer of a low emissivity material disposed on the woven fabric, wherein the layer of low emissivity material is vapor deposited. The woven fabric has a yarn size of no greater than 30D and a weight no greater than 55 gsm. At least one coating layer vapor may be deposited adjacent the low emissivity layer. The woven fabric may comprise one or more of a nylon or a polyester. The textile may exhibit an increase in insulation ability of at least 10% compared to a substantially similar woven fabric in the absence of the low emissivity layer when tested together with a fibrous sheet insulation and another untreated woven fabric in accordance with ASTM-F1868 Part A.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2019Publication date: May 7, 2020Inventors: Cindy Y.
