The present invention discloses bioengineered corneal grafts for treating either or both Keratoconus and visual impairment, selected from (i) a corneal Onlay comprises or coated by at least one member of Group A, consisting of biocompatible synthetic materials; at least one member of Group B, consisting of at least one type of biological polymer and optionally, at least one member of Group C, consisting of at least one type of protein and (ii) An intrastromal corneal lenticule graft, configured to mimic native corneal stroma tissue by means of its optical properties, mechanical properties, permeability and interaction with corneal stromal cells; wherein at least one portion of said lenticule comprises or coated by at least one member of Group D, consisting of transparent crosslinked hydrogel; at least one member of Group E, consisting of collagen; collagen methacrylate, recombinant mammal collagen, mammal-sourced collagen; and optionally, at least one member of Group F, consisting of Keratocytes and/or stem cells and any combination thereof. The present invention further discloses compositions, methods for production, implementation and treatment of medical indications by aforesaid corneal graft.

The present invention provides for nanostructured fibrin and agarose hydrogels, preferably type VII agarose hydrogels, (NFAH) or non-nanostructured or pre-nanostructured fibrin and agarose hydrogels, preferably type VII agarose hydrogels, (FAH), as hemostatic agents designed for use as an adjunct or primary treatment in moderate intraoperative hemorrhage and in trauma. These hydrogels can be applied topically to the wound either on the skin in a laparotomy or as non-invasive manner in surgical procedures. Its nanostructure technology generates an adhesive stable fibrin clot required for hemostasis. The attachment properties of the hydrogel, as well as the rapid formation of a fibrin clot, ensures that a strong stable fibrin clot is formed shortly after application.

The inventions provided herein relate to compositions, methods, delivery devices and kits for repairing or augmenting a tissue in a subject. The compositions described herein can be injectable such that they can be placed in a tissue to be treated with a minimally-invasive procedure (e.g., by injection). In some embodiments, the composition described herein comprises a compressed silk fibroin matrix, which can expand upon injection into the tissue and retain its original expanded volume within the tissue for a period of time. The compositions can be used as a filler to replace a tissue void, e.g., for tissue repair and/or augmentation, or as a scaffold to support tissue regeneration and/or reconstruction. In some embodiments, the compositions described herein can be used for soft tissue repair or augmentation.
