  • Urinary tract tissue graft compositions and methods for producing same
    Publication number: 20060105054
    Abstract: A method for repairing damaged or diseased urinary tract tissue includes providing a urinary tract tissue graft composition that includes a distal ileal segment of small intestinal submucosa. The distal ileal segment of small intestinal submucosa may be utilized as an unseeded tissue graft composition, or the distal ileal segment of small intestinal submucosa may be positioned in a tissue culture frame, and smooth muscle and urothelial cells isolated from a tissue specimen of a subject and cultured are then seeded upon the distal ileal segment of small intestinal submucosa, thereby forming a urinary tract tissue graft.
    Type: Application

  • Urinary tract tissue graft compositions and methods for producing same
    Publication number: 20040091461
    Abstract: A method for providing a urinary tract tissue graft composition includes providing a segment of small intestinal submucosa and positioning the segment of small intestinal submucosa in a tissue culture frame such that the segment of small intestinal submucosa is suspended and held in a taut position by the tissue culture frame. At least one multipotent cell type is isolated from a tissue specimen of a subject and cultured, and then seeded upon a surface of the segment of small intestinal submucosa, thereby forming a urinary tract tissue graft. Methods for repairing a damaged urinary tract tissue of a subject are also disclosed.
