  • Biocomposite medical constructs including artificial tissues, vessels and patches
    Patent number: 9125759
    Abstract: The disclosure describes methods of making collagen based biocomposite constructs and related devices. The methods include: (a) winding at least one collagen fiber a number of revolutions about a length of a support member having a long axis, the winding having at least one defined pitch and/or fiber angle relative to the long axis of the support member to form an elongate construct; and (b) applying a fluid polymeric material, such as, for example, an acrylate emulsion and/or other thermoplastic material, onto the collagen fiber during the winding step. Optionally, the fluid polymeric material can include antibiotics and/or other therapeutic agents for additional function/utility.
    Type: Grant
