Patent number: 8021350Abstract: A dihydroxyphenyl cross-linked macromolecular network is provided that is useful in artificial tissue and tissue engineering applications, particularly to provide a synthetic macromolecular network for a wide variety of tissue types. In particular, artificial or synthetic cartilage, vocal cord material, vitreous material, soft tissue material and mitral valve material are described. In an embodiment, the network is composed of tyramine-substituted and cross-linked hyaluronan molecules, wherein cross-linking is achieved via peroxidase-mediated dityramine-linkages that can be performed in vivo. The dityramine bonds provide a stable, coherent hyaluronan-based hydrogel with desired physical properties.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2009Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: The Cleveland Clinic FoundationInventors: Anthony Calabro, Aniq B. Darr, Kiyotaka Fukamachi, Richard A. Gross, Keiji Kamohara, Michael K. Banbury

Patent number: 7905842Abstract: An apparatus (10) and method for excising tissue (208) and closing a wound (156) that results from excision of the tissue (208) is provided. The apparatus (10) includes structure (14) defining an aperture (34) into which tissue (208) to be excised is exposed and a cutting member (96). The apparatus (10) also includes an adhesive bandage (140) for closing the wound (156). The adhesive bandage (140) is secured relative to a lower surface (20) of the structure (14) in a location for contacting skin (154) adjacent to the tissue (208) to be excised. The apparatus (10) further includes a device (150) that is actuatable for closing the wound (156) with the adhesive bandage (140) and actuators (108 and 182) for moving the cutting member (96) relative to the structure (14) for excising the tissue (208) exposed in the aperture (34) and for actuating the device (150).Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: The Cleveland Clinic FoundationInventors: Warren P. Williamson, IV, Michael K. Banbury, Jillian E. Banbury

Patent number: 7806907Abstract: A skin lesion exciser including a moving blade, wherein excision of a skin lesion placed in proximity to the blade is effected by movement of the blade against the skin, a moving engagement portion, wherein the blade and the engagement portion have coincident movement, and a skin-closure device having an open condition prior to excision of the skin lesion, and a closed condition in which the device holds the skin closed after excision of the skin lesion. The device is in engagement with the engagement portion during movement of the blade, and the device is moved from its open to its closed condition in response to movement of the engagement portion. The excision of the skin lesion and the closure of the skin are substantially simultaneous.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2002Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: The Cleveland Clinic FoundationInventors: Michael K. Banbury, Jillian E. Banbury
