  • Process for creating acellular viable donor soft tissue
    Patent number: 8974730
    Abstract: A process for creating acellular donor soft tissue by removing contaminants such as cells by extraction using a fluid at supercritical temperature and pressures while preserving the integrity of the soft tissue. The soft tissue is maintained in contact with the fluid in a pressure vessel at supercritical temperature and pressures for a period of time and then the pressure vessel is rapidly depressurized.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 6, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 10, 2015
    Assignee: Novasterilis, Inc.
    Inventors: David C. Burns, Anthony R. Eisenhut, Renee Christopher
