  • Biostaples suitable for wrist, hand and other ligament replacements or repairs
    Patent number: 10258327
    Abstract: The disclosure describes implantable medical products, that include dry or partially hydrated biocompatible biostaples suitable for ligament repairs or replacements comprising collagen fibers that may be configured to expand in situ after implantation to frictionally engage a bone tunnel wall or bone sleeve to thereby affix the construct in the bone tunnel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 26, 2017
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2019
    Assignee: MiMedx Group, Inc.
    Inventors: Thomas Wiedrich, Tian Davis, Thomas J. Koob
  • Medical constructs of twisted lengths of collagen fibers and methods of making same
    Patent number: 10149918
    Abstract: Medical constructs with twisted cables formed from a plurality of collagen fibers twisted together to form strands and those strands twisted together to form cables and relate methods of twisting the collagen fibers to form the medical constructs while holding the fibers and strands of fibers in tension and twisting in a first direction (i.e., in a clockwise direction), then twisting them in a second opposing (counterclockwise) direction for a number of twists per inch.

  • Medical constructs of twisted lengths of collagen fibers and methods of making same
    Patent number: 9216077
    Abstract: Medical constructs that have a plurality of NDGA-treated collagen fibers twisted together to provide strands that are twisted together into implantable cords. The cords are suitable to treat orthopaedic and other conditions and can be degradeable over time. Related and methods of twisting the collagen fibers as groups or bundles of fibers to form the medical constructs are described.

  • Woven and/or braided fiber implants and methods of making same
    Patent number: 8177839
    Abstract: Bioprosthesis having an implantable braided or woven construct with a plurality of collagen-derived fibers interlocked or interlaced together. The braided or woven constructs can be flexible and resorbable. The braided or woven constructs can have the dynamic flexibility, tensile strength and stiffness suitable for tendon or ligament repairs. The braided or woven construct may be used for ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction.
