Patent number: 12226299Abstract: Described herein are implants (e.g., medical textiles/biotextiles) that include stitched gripping filaments to increase gripping, and methods of forming and using them. In some configurations these apparatuses may be configured as surgical grafts that may be used for soft tissue reconstruction, regeneration, or repair.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2022Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: TELA Bio, Inc.Inventors: E. Skott Greenhalgh, John-Paul Romano, Travis Speicher, Brendan Farrell

Publication number: 20250049552Abstract: Layered materials for using in implants, such as hernia repair implants. The layered materials may include a first layer including a substrate (e.g., mesh) and a second layer including a sheet of anti-adhesive material. The layers may be attached at small attachment sites that are separated by regions in which the layers are not attached, to provide a highly compliant implant. The compliance of the implant may match that of a patient's body upon implantation and/or over time following implantation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Inventors: Skott GREENHALGH, John-Paul ROMANO, Travis SPEICHER

Publication number: 20240374367Abstract: Described herein are implants (e.g., medical textiles/biotextiles) that include nonuniform stitching patterns to reinforce and bolster the tensile strength of a substrate base and provide customized compliance characteristic to the implant. In some examples, the nonuniform stitching pattern does not substantially change the compliance of the implant relative to the substrate in directions along a plane of the substrate. In some examples, the nonuniform stitching pattern creates a nonuniform directional compliance characteristic to the implant. The implants may be configured as surgical grafts that may be used for soft tissue reconstruction, regeneration, or repair.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventors: John-Paul ROMANO, Skott GREENHALGH, Travis SPEICHER

Patent number: 12070380Abstract: Materials for soft tissue repair, and in particular, material for hernia repair. These materials may be configured as an implant, such as a graft, that may be implanted into a patient in need thereof, such as a patient having a hernia or undergoing a hernia repair surgical procedure. These grafts may include a first layer comprising a substrate (e.g., mesh) and a second layer comprising a sheet of anti-adhesive material. The layers may be attached with a plurality of relatively small attachment sites that are separated by regions in which the two layers are not attached, to provide a highly compliant graft.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2022Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: TELA Bio, Inc.Inventors: Skott Greenhalgh, John-Paul Romano, Travis Speicher
