  • METHODS OF PRODUCING EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX USEABLE IN BREAST IMPLANT SURGERY AND OTHER MATRIX PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20180236133
    Abstract: Methodologies in which GAG/collagen mixtures are homogenized into slurries, lyophilized, and dried, have been producing solid matrix products that have favorable tackiness for use in breast reconstruction surgery.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 22, 2018
    Publication date: August 23, 2018
    Inventors: David Vogel, Richard Vogel, Derek Cox, Jessica Bills
  • MATRIX CONSTRUCTION
    Publication number: 20180200411
    Abstract: For making a matrix useable in a wound, matrix construction methods are provided, in which a slurry is formulated and then lyophilized. Usage of collagen and chondroitin sulfate (C6S) in the slurry is favored.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 28, 2018
    Publication date: July 19, 2018
    Inventors: Jess Bills, Derek Cox, David Tumey

  • Bioengineered Regenerative Graft Matrix, and Methods for Making Thereof
    Publication number: 20170368231
    Abstract: A skin-substitute is constructed by homogenizing an acellular dermal tissue matrix into a slurry, pouring the slurry into a mold, and lyophilizing the slurry.
    Type: Application

  • MATRIX-PRODUCTION CARRIER
    Publication number: 20170274562
    Abstract: Based on dimensions and configurations of a dermal wound on a patient, a carrier is custom-made, preferably by 3D printing, to include a cavity that is duplicative of the specific wound. When the custom-made carrier is used to contain slurry, and the slurry-containing carrier undergoes processing steps (such as freeze-drying in a lyophilization chamber), a matrix is formed that, when removed from the carrier and put into the wound of the patient for whom the carrier was custom-made, fills the wound volume.
