  • Suturable dural and meningeal repair product comprising collagen matrix
    Patent number: 8846060
    Abstract: A matrix for tissue growth includes: (a) a first layer including a first assembly of collagen fibers; (b) a plurality of projections on a top surface of the first layer; and (c) a second layer bonded to a bottom portion of the first layer and including a second assembly of collagen fibers, wherein the second layer has a lower density than the first layer, and the matrix includes pores effective to support cell growth into the matrix. A method for providing the matrix is also described.

  • Flowable wound matrix and its preparation and use
    Patent number: 8357402
    Abstract: This invention relates to a flowable collagen/glycosaminoglycan (GAG) material including particles of collagen/GAG matrix that, when hydrated, can be effectively delivered to wounds having varying depths and geometries. The flowable collagen/GAG matrix allows a more intimate contact between the wound matrix and the wound bed, and provides a structural framework that serves as a scaffold for cell ingrowth.
