  • Publication number: 20200078165
    Abstract: Soft tissue repair grafts are provided for supporting, covering, and/or retaining an implant positioned in the body of a subject. The grafts are particularly suitable for use for pre-pectoral breast reconstruction with a breast implant or tissue expander. The grafts include positional notches for more accurate positioning in a subject. The grafts also include at least one cuff element which is folded to form a reinforced folded edge for suturing the graft more securely to adjacent tissues than previously known grafts. The grafts also include a plurality of arcuate slots which form a plurality of circular patterns arranged concentrically about a focal point, thereby enabling the grafts to expand without tearing and to conform more closely to the implant and/or adjacent body tissues such as the breast pocket, than previously known grafts. Acellular dermal matrices are particularly suitable for making the soft tissue repair grafts.

  • Publication number: 20190247175
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and compositions for treatment are provided. The methods can be used to stretch and completely or nearly completely wrap a composition around an implant or tissue expander. The systems can be used to protect an implant or tissue expander by completely or nearly completely wrapping a composition around the implant or tissue expander. The compositions can be used to completely or nearly completely wrap around an implant or tissue expander to provide support and protection to the implant or tissue expander.

  • Publication number: 20190151507
    Abstract: Methods for treating tissue matrices and tissue matrices produced according to the methods are provided. The methods can include treating a tissue matrix with a proteolytic enzyme to produce a desired pliability of the tissue matrix and/or to control the immunogenicity of the tissue matrix. The methods can comprise treatment with alcalase under conditions controlled to produce a desired pliability without unacceptable alteration in collagen structure.

  • Publication number: 20190125971
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for processing small volumes of tissue. The systems and methods include an interior fill volume and an exterior wash volume separated by a filter. Waste and fluids pass through the filter during tissue washing and transfer and can be absorbed or removed by application of negative pressure. The systems and methods are more portable and require fewer transfer steps than conventional methods, thus simplifying tissue processing procedures.

  • Publication number: 20190117202
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for tissue transfer are disclosed that can allow control of transfer speed. The devices use positive and negative pressure to advance a plunger (322) into or out of a body (311) of the device. A pressure regulator may be used to control the applied pressure. Maintaining transfer speed within acceptable ranges and/or controlling pressure or shear forces on tissues can improve the viability of certain types of tissue.

  • Patent number: 10207025
    Abstract: Methods for treating tissue matrices and tissue matrices produced according to the methods are provided. The methods can include treating a tissue matrix with a proteolytic enzyme to produce a desired pliability of the tissue matrix and/or to control the immunogenicity of the tissue matrix. The methods can also comprise performing an assay to determine if contacting the at least one collagen-containing tissue matrix with a proteolytic enzyme has altered the at least one collagen-containing tissue matrix to reduce a human immune response to the tissue matrix. The methods can comprise treatment with alcalase under conditions controlled to produce a desired pliability without unacceptable alteration in collagen structure.
