Abstract: A biocompatible meniscal repair device is disclosed. The tissue repair device includes a scaffold adapted to be placed in contact with a defect in a meniscus, the scaffold comprising a high-density, dry laid nonwoven polymeric material and a biocompatible foam. The scaffold provides increased suture pull-out strength.

Abstract: Tissue engineering devices for pelvic floor repair are disclosed. More specifically, tissue engineering devices made of an implant, having a central portion at least partially embedded within a nonwoven felt are disclosed.

Abstract: Tissue engineering devices and methods are provided for the reconstruction, repair, augmentation, or replacement of a luminal organ or tissue structure involving the use of a biodegradable polymer matrix conforming to a portion of a laminarly arranged luminal organ, the processing of autologous, allogeneic or xenogeneic tissue comprising multiple cell populations to obtain a minced tissue composition, the seeding of the matrix with the composition, and the implanting of the seeded polymer matrix into a patient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for tissue augmentation or regeneration. More specifically, the present invention provides for a composite enterocystoplasty procedure using a biocompatible scaffold and minced autologous tissue for implantation in a mammalian bladder.

Abstract: An implantable biodegradable porous fibrous matrix is disclosed, the fibrous matrix being constructed of fibers arranged in a nonwoven array. The density of the nonwoven array is adjusted in the manufacturing process to obtain an optimum density of the array for tissue ingrowth. When implanted, the optimum density fibrous matrix provides for a superior biological response of the host in terms of tissue growth, especially for tissues containing glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The optimum density fibrous matrix is therefore provided with properties useful in repair and/or regeneration of mammalian tissue.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to devices for organ replacement and regenerative medicine providing a biocompatible and biodegradable scaffold capable of integral cell growth that forms a hollow chamber, as well as methods for producing such devices by lyophilizing biocompatible, biodegradable polymers to produce a seamless, three-dimensional shape.

Abstract: Biocompatible tissue repair implant devices and their methods of use are provided for repairing a diseased kidney tissue. The present invention relates to methods of removing a portion of kidney tissue from a host or donor, mincing it, placing it on a bioresorbable scaffold, and implanting the scaffold into a defect site in a kidney of a host or patient for use in the treatment of degenerative kidney diseases. The compositions and methods provide a pluripotent milieu for the de-novo generation of renal tubular structures in the replacement of diseased kidney tissue. The processes and devices are useful in the treatment of medical conditions and diseases relating to the kidneys such as trauma, necrosis, and both acute and chronic forms of renal failure.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to devices for organ replacement and regenerative medicine providing a biocompatible and biodegradable scaffold capable of integral cell growth that forms a hollow chamber, as well as methods for producing such devices by melt-blowing a web of flexible, polymer fibers in the presence of a porogen to produce a seamless, three-dimensional shape.

Abstract: The present invention relates to devices and methods for tissue augmentation or regeneration and specifically, to a composite of bioabsorbable scaffold material and autologous tissue, suitable for implantation in tissue or organs.
