Devices, systems, and methods to improve both the reliability of soft tissue repair procedures and the speed at which the procedures are completed are provided. The devices and systems include one or more tissue augmentation constructs, which include constructs that are configured to increase a footprint across which suture applied force to tissue when the suture is tied down onto the tissue. The tissue augmentation constructs can be quickly and easily associated with the repair suture, and can be useful in many different tissue repair procedures that are disclosed in the application. Tissue augmentation constructs can include various blocks and scaffolds, among other formations. The present disclosure includes, among other disclosures, methods for using tissue augmentation scaffolds, including folding scaffolds, and descriptions and methods associated with extra-wide tissue augmentation blocks.

An osteogenic composition for implantation at or near a target tissue site beneath the skin is provided, the osteogenic composition comprising bone morphogenetic protein and a NEMO binding domain peptide, where the NEMO binding domain peptide reduces soft tissue inflammation at or near the target tissue site. In some embodiments, a method is provided for treating a target tissue site in a patient in need of such treatment, the method comprising implanting an osteogenic composition comprising bone morphogenetic protein and a NEMO binding domain peptide, where the NEMO binding domain peptide reduces soft tissue inflammation at or near the target tissue site.

The present disclosure provides methods for treating acute wounds and improving outcomes by applying to an acute wound a skin substitute that is an organotypic human skin equivalent comprising NIKS cells. In certain embodiments, the closed wound has improved vascularity, improved pigmentation, decreased thickness, decreased pain, increased pliability, increased surface area, decreased stiffness, decreased itching, improved color, or any combination thereof, as assessed by an observer or by the subject, as compared to an autograft or another skin substitute.

Devices, systems, and methods to improve both the reliability of soft tissue repair procedures and the speed at which the procedures are completed are provided. The devices and systems include one or more structured tissue augmentation constructs, which include constructs that are configured to increase a footprint across which suture applied force to tissue when the suture is tied down onto the tissue. The tissue augmentation constructs can be quickly and easily associated with the repair suture and can be useful in many different tissue repair procedures that are disclosed in the application. The present disclosure includes structured tissue augmentation blocks for tendon repair that have a flexible or semi-flexible skeleton integrated into the block. The skeleton can be bioabsorbable and can create both in-plane and out-of-plane curvature in the block.

A composite material can include a gel and at least one nanostructure disposed within the gel. A method for healing a soft tissue defect can include applying a composite material to a soft tissue defect, wherein the composite material includes a gel and a nanostructure disposed within the gel. A method for manufacturing a composite material for use in healing soft tissue defects can include providing a gel and disposing nanofibers within the gel.
