  • Patent number: 11918453
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods of treating an injury in a subject using placental tissue streamers, engineered tissue placental tissue hybrids, suture placental tissue hybrids, placental tissue patch hybrids, and tissue hybrids, and the use of these compositions to repair, treat, or support an injury or degenerative process in a subject.

  • Publication number: 20220346964
    Abstract: Implants are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, an implant includes a spacer configured to be implanted within a joint. The spacer includes an elongated central body extending from a first end to a second end with a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, and first and second wings extending from the first and second ends of the elongated central body, respectively. The elongated central body has a first maximum height in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis, and each of the first and second wings has a maximum height greater than the first maximum height. When implanted and in the inflated state, at least one of the first wing and the second wing is configured to mechanically interlock with a portion of the anatomy to thereby self-anchor the spacer to the joint and inhibit migration of the spacer. Implant systems and methods for biomechanically augmenting muscle function are also provided.
