  • Patent number: 11772200
    Abstract: An allograft optimization system utilizes an optical system to determine the outer perimeter of a tissue blank for allograft cutting therefrom. The optical system determines an optimal allograft array pattern that can be derived from the irregular tissue blank and may include a plurality of various allograft shapes and sizes. A computer operates an allograft optimization computer program that receives input regarding the outer perimeter of the tissue blank. A cutting implement, such as a laser, is configured to cut the allografts from the irregularly shaped tissue blank according the allograft array pattern. The cutting implement is automatically actuated by an actuator with respect to the tissue blank to cut the allografts therefrom. The cutting implement may be a laser or a galvo laser that is directed by one or more mirrors. The tissue may be birth tissue including placental tissue and amnion.

  • Patent number: 11369643
    Abstract: Acellular amnion derived therapeutic compositions are described having a number of various compositional embodiments. An acellular amnion derived therapeutic composition has essentially no live or active amniotic cells. The amniotic cells may be destroyed and the cells and cell debris may be removed from the acellular amnion derived therapeutic composition. An acellular amnion derived therapeutic composition may comprise micronized placental tissue particles, and/or amniotic fluid. An acellular amnion derived therapeutic composition may be a dispersion of micronized amniotic membrane combined with a fluid, such as plasma, saline, amniotic fluid, combinations thereof and the like. An acellular amnion derived therapeutic composition may be combined with a matrix component to form a composite. An acellular amnion derived therapeutic composition may be used in conjunction with a composition comprising viable cells, such as stem cells.

  • Patent number: 11207355
    Abstract: An enriched amnion derived tissue graft has a stromal matrix layer and an epithelium layer. A stromal matrix layer may contain a basement membrane layer, a compact layer, a fibroblast layer, and an intermediate layer. An amnion derived tissue graft may have a plurality of tissue layers and the layers may be configured with the epithelium layers toward the inside and the stromal matrix layers toward the outside surface. An enriched portion may be coated onto or be configured within a tissue layer and have an increased concentration of cells, of proteins, growth factors, seed cells, pharmaceuticals or any combination thereof. A carrier fluid such as amniotic fluid may be used to produce an enrichment composition for coating the tissue graft. The cells within the enriched portion may be stem cells from the amnion, or cells from other tissue and may be seed cells selected based on the treatment location.

  • Patent number: 10894066
    Abstract: Therapeutic compositions are described for the treatment of a variety of conditions including heart, eye, lungs, organs, joints, dermal, nerve, and the like. A therapeutic composition may be a fluid comprising amniotic fluid or micronized amniotic particles. A therapeutic composite may be a dispersion of micronized amniotic membrane combined with a fluid, such as plasma, saline, amniotic fluid, combinations thereof and the like. In another embodiment, the therapeutic composite is a mixture of micronized amniotic membrane particles combined with an amniotic rich stem cell fluid. An amniotic rich or concentrated stem cell fluid comprises at least 0.5×106 amniotic stem cells per milliliter of fluid or composition. A therapeutic composite may be used to treat any number of conditions through topical application, surgical introduction, and/or injection.

  • Patent number: 10363278
    Abstract: A frozen therapeutic dose includes an amniotic material and is configured into a pack for easy administering of the dose to a treatment location. A frozen therapeutic dose may contain a concentration of live amniotic stem cells. A frozen therapeutic dose may be provided in a form, such as a multi-pack form, to enable a person to administer a dose to a treatment location without the need of traveling to a doctor's office or clinic. A frozen therapeutic dose package may be kept in a conventional freezer at ?20° C. for example, for extended periods of time and a person may remove the package as needed for treatment. A frozen dose package or pack may contain a secondary material configured to mix with the frozen therapeutic dose. A secondary material may be configured within a single dose compartment with the frozen dose or within a separate compartment.
