    Patent number: 8419798
    Abstract: A joint prosthesis includes a head component that is engaged to a bone stem through a mounting element. The mounting element is configured for articulating engagement with the stem to permit angular positioning of the head component in multiple degrees of freedom.

  • Molecular enhancement of extracellular matrix and methods of use
    Patent number: 8080260
    Abstract: A composition comprising a human- or animal-derived extracellular matrix and a macromolecular network which is prepared ex vivo is provided that is useful in the repair of a tissue injury, particularly in repair of tears or gaps between a tendon and a bone, such as in a rotator cuff tear. In an embodiment, the composition comprises a human- or animal-derived extracellular matrix having impregnated therein a macromolecular network of hyaluronan macromolecules that have been cross-linked via dihydroxyphenyl linkages, so that the cross-linked network is interlocked within the extracellular matrix. The resulting HA-incorporated extracellular matrix can be supplied in the form of a patch to reinforce a tissue repair or cover a tissue defect.
