  • Engineered craniofacial constructs with composite scaffold
    Patent number: 9732321
    Abstract: The present invention provides for compositions and constructs for craniofacial reconstruction implants, and methods for making and using same. Specific embodiments provide for a biocompatible scaffold having an auricular shape and a permanent bendable framework within the scaffold, wherein the permanent bendable framework allows deformation and return to pre-deformation shape, and thus maintains the auricular shape of the scaffold.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 16, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2017
    Assignees: THE GENERAL HOSPITAL CORPORATION, MASSACHUSETTS EYE AND EAR INFIMARY

  • Polymer compositions for intraluminal stent
    Publication number: 20070073016
    Abstract: A polymer composition for use in forming a stent is described. The composition includes a monomer of an aliphatic ester of acrylic acid which has a glass transition temperature less than 25° C. and a second monomer that copolymerizes with the first monomer and which has a glass transition temperature greater than 25° C. The components in the composition are mixed in amounts suitable to give a copolymer having a glass transition temperature less than 25° C., or in case of block copolymers, having at least one glass transition temperature less than 25° C. A stent including polymer members formed from the described composition is also disclosed.

  • Expandable unit cell and intraluminal stent
    Patent number: 6019789
    Abstract: A unit cell for use in a medical device, such as a stent, is disclosed along with a description of a stent formed from a plurality of unit cells and for use in the treatment of restenosis or other vascular narrowing. The unit cell is designed and configured for uniform radial expansion with minimal axial shortening and recoil, and is selectively variable in flexibility and expendability.
