    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 2020
    Date of Patent: July 26, 2022
    Assignee: MiMedx Group, Inc.
    Inventors: Rick LeVaughn, Sivakkumar Arjunon, Olivia Taylor
  • Publication number: 20220133955
    Abstract: A meshed, dehydrated, placental tissue allograft that can be used in the treatment of wounds. Specifically, the meshed allograft has the property of being able to be expanded to cover an irregularly shaped wound, therefore reducing the need to apply multiple, uniform sized grafts to a single wound site. The meshed, dehydrated placental tissue allograft is sourced from a human donor, and is then processed to remove any potential contaminants or microbes prior to applying a specific mesh pattern to the tissue. The meshed, dehydrated, placental tissue graft is reconstituted prior to applying to the subject, and can then be configured to optimally cover the shape of the wound site.

  • Publication number: 20210393852
    Abstract: A meshed, dehydrated, umbilical tissue allograft that can be used in the treatment of wounds. Specifically, the meshed allograft has the property of being able to be expanded to cover an irregularly shaped wound, therefore reducing the need to apply multiple, uniform sized grafts to a single wound site. The meshed, dehydrated umbilical tissue allograft is sourced from a human donor, and is then processed to remove any potential contaminants or microbes prior to applying a specific mesh pattern to the tissue. The meshed, dehydrated, umbilical tissue graft is reconstituted prior to applying to the subject, and can then be configured to optimally cover the shape of the wound site.
