Publication number: 20230310703Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing collagen for restoring cartilage tissue usable for a joint in an injection manner, and a usage method thereof. The present invention provides a method of obtaining a high-concentration collagen-solution injection by aseptically filling an injection container with collagen separated from pig skin tissue, and a method of using the high-viscosity collagen loaded into the injection container for the purpose of cartilage restoration. Cartilage tissue regeneration is effectively induced when tissue restoration is implemented with respect to a cartilage-deficient portion using collagen, which is a biocompatible material, in a form that is capable of being injected into an application site with an injection needle without a surgical incision. Accordingly, restoration and regeneration of cartilage are easily and quickly induced in an animal, excluding a human, while relieving the burden related to surgery.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Joon Ho LEE, Ji Chul YOO, Dong Sam SUH, Cheong Ho CHANG

Patent number: 9408975Abstract: An apparatus for operating a syringe has developed comprising: an upper semi-cylindrical tube section, semi-circular shaped locking groove and lower semi-cylindrical tube section. The upper semi-cylindrical tube section is integrally formed an upper head part with a threaded hole for axial movement. The lower semi-cylindrical tube section forms a top portion, intermediate portion and end portion. A diameter (Dc) at the intermediate portion larger than the diameter (Dtip) at end portion is gradually reduced from intermediate to end portion. The length of the tapered portion is same as that portion of the constant diameter. A tip portion has formed an opened semi-circular shape to simply overlap the syringe over the cartridge for easily snapping-in and out. The syringe piston moves downward with no reverse action when the piston press-unit is rotated, thus it is possible to inject the precise amount of medicine to a patient with constant pressure.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2013Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Inventors: Seok-Jung Kim, Cheong-Ho Chang, Jae-Deog Jang, Hyun-Shin Park, Sae-Bom Lee, Kyoung-Phil Byun
