  • Graft for promoting autogenous tissue growth
    Patent number: 5573784
    Abstract: Surgical repair of diseased or damaged endogenous connective tissue can be accomplished using a tissue graft formed from a delaminated segment of intestinal tissue. The tissue graft comprises the intestinal tunica submucosa delaminated from both the tunica muscularis and at least the luminal portion of the tunica mucosa. The graft can be conditioned by stretching and formed as a multilayer composition for high tensile strength and resistance to tearing at its points of attachment to existing physiological structures.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 18, 1995
    Date of Patent: November 12, 1996
    Assignees: Purdue Research Foundation, Methodist Hospital of Indiana, Inc.
    Inventors: Stephen F. Badylak, Leslie A. Geddes, K. Donald Shelbourne, Gary C. Lantz, Arthur C. Coffey
  • Tendon or ligament graft for promoting autogenous tissue growth
    Patent number: 5445833
    Abstract: Surgical repair of diseased or damaged endogenous connective tissue can be accomplished using a tissue graft formed from a delaminated segment of intestinal tissue. The tissue graft comprises the intestinal tunica submucosa, and basilar mucosa tissue delaminated from the tunica muscularis and the luminal portion of the tunica mucosa. The graft can be conditioned by stretching and formed as a multilayer composition for high tensile strength and resistance to tearing at its points of attachment to existing physiological structures.

  • Graft for promoting autogenous tissue growth
    Patent number: 5281422
    Abstract: Surgical repair of diseased or damaged endogenous connective tissue can be accomplished using a tissue graft formed from a delaminated segment of intestinal tissue. The tissue graft comprises the intestinal tunica submucosa, muscularis mucosa and stratum compactum delaminated from the tunica muscularis and the luminal portion of the tunica mucosa. The graft can be conditioned by stretching and formed as a multilayer composition for high tensile strength and resistance to tearing at its points of attachment to existing physiological structures.
