  • Synthetic structure for soft tissue repair
    Patent number: 9597430
    Abstract: Synthetic structures for soft tissue repair include a multi-layer planar fibrillar structure having layers which are intermittently secured to each other and which approximates mechanical properties comparable to those of soft tissue. In embodiments, the fibrillar structure possesses an intermittently secured edge portion secured by intermittent welds. In embodiments, the multi layer planar fibrillar structure includes a bioactive agent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 31, 2009
    Date of Patent: March 21, 2017
    Assignee: Synthasome, Inc.
    Inventors: Anthony Ratcliffe, Andreas Kern, Mohammad Sotoudeh, Fatemeh Ratcliffe
  • TISSUE SCAFFOLD
    Publication number: 20150037884
    Abstract: A tissue engineered construct made totally or in part from biocompatible materials and mammalian cells and/or cell products is provided. These constructs are useful in regenerating complex tissues such as bone, ligament and tendon, which may fabricated into medical devices suitable for use in the treatment of injuries and maladies such as rotator cuff injuries, periodontal disease and hernia.
