Abstract: Implantable medical devices and prosthesis for rapid regeneration and replacement of tissues, and methods of making and using the devices, are described. The medical devices include a complex three-dimensional braided scaffold with a polymer composition and structure tailored to desired degradation profiles and mechanical properties. The composite three-dimensional braided scaffolds are braided from yarn bundles of biodegradable and bioresorbable polymeric fibers and/or filaments. Monofilament fibers and/or multifilament fibers can be twisted/plied in different combinations to form multifilament yarns, composite multifilament yarns, or composite yarns. The medical devices are useful as both structural prosthetics taking on the function of the tissue as it regenerates and as in vivo scaffolds for cell attachment and ingrowth.

Abstract: A device has been developed to augment the rotator cuff tendon tissue as it proceeds in healing. The device has two purposes: to provide initial stability to the rotator cuff repair site to allow early mobilization of the upper extremity of the patient, and to allow for reinforcement of rotator cuff tendon repairs to increase the likelihood of successful rotator cuff tendon repairs. The device consists of an inter-connected, open pore structure that enables even and random distribution and in-growth of tendon cells. The braided structure allows for distribution of mechanical forces over a larger area of tissue at the fixation point(s).
