  • Multilayered submucosal graft constructs and method for making the same
    Patent number: 5955110
    Abstract: Multi-laminar tissue graft constructs, pseudoisotropic graft constructs and a method of preparing such constructs are described. Multi-laminar tissue graft constructs are prepared by fusing partially overlapped strips of submucosa tissue into a unitary graft construct by compressing the tissue under dehydrating conditions. Pseudoisotropic tissue graft constructs are prepared by overlapping a first strip of submucosa tissue with at least two strips of submucosa tissue orientated so that the longitudinal axis of each strip formts an angle of about 180.degree./N with the longitudinal axes of at least two other strips of submucosal tissue.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 12, 1996
    Date of Patent: September 21, 1999
    Assignees: Purdue Research Foundation, Inc., Methodist Hospital of Indiana, Inc.
    Inventors: Umesh H. Patel, Michael C. Hiles, Bryan A. Whitson, Boyle Cheng, Stephen F. Badylak, Klod Kokini
  • Large area submucosal tissue graft constructs and method for making the same
    Patent number: 5885619
    Abstract: A unitary heterolaminar tissue graft construct is prepared by fusing partially overlapped strips or sheets of submucosa tissue. The submucosa components are fused by compressing at least the overlapped positions of said strips between two surfaces under conditions that allow or promote dehydration of the compressed submucosa sheets. Three dimensional graft constructs can be prepared by using complementary non-planar compressive surfaces.
