  • Publication number: 20240245829
    Abstract: Elongated, curled cartilage fibers and shaped implants comprising them are disclosed, as well as methods for making and using them. A cohesive mass of intertwined cartilage fibers may be shaped to provide a shaped implant which conforms to an implant site. The implant may also be reshaped to have a second shape which conforms to an implant site. The implant site may be the cavity of a cartilage defect, or a space or pocket at a treatment site, any of which may have resulted from treatment, injury, or disease. The implant may be shaped or reshaped to conform to, or replace, an anatomical feature or portion thereof, for repair or treatment of the anatomical feature. Shaped implants comprising the cartilage fibers have good shape retention and are capable of completely filling, and resisting migration from, an implant site after administration and hydration.
