  • Foam composite for the repair or regeneration of tissue
    Patent number: 7112417
    Abstract: The present patent describes a biocompatible composite made of a first fibrous layer attached to a three-dimensional inter-connected open cell porous foams that have a gradient in composition and/or microstructure through one or more directions. These composites can be made from blends of absorbable and biocompatible polymers. These biocompatible composites are particularly well suited to tissue engineering applications and can be designed to mimic tissue transition or interface zones.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 24, 2001
    Date of Patent: September 26, 2006
    Assignee: Ethicon, Inc.
    Inventors: Murty N. Vyakarnam, Mark C. Zimmerman, Angelo George Scopelianos, Iksoo Chun, Mora C. Melican, Clairene A. Bazilio, Mark B. Roller, David V. Gorky

  • Porous tissue scaffoldings for the repair or regeneration of tissue
    Patent number: 6534084
    Abstract: The present patent describes a three-dimensional inter-connected open cell porous foams that have a gradient in composition and/or microstructure through one or more directions. These foams can be made from a blend of absorbable and biocompatible polymers that are formed into foams having a compositional gradient transitioning from predominately one polymeric material to predominately a second polymeric material. These gradient foams are particularly well suited to tissue engineering applications and can be designed to mimic tissue transition or interface zones.
