20170296707 · 2017-10-19 ·

A longitudinal extending body with oriented fibers comprised of an organic compound, preferably cellulose fibers, with a hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymer having absorbable and non res sorbable qualities in the body, with an internal construction to promote cell growth. The longitudinal body has at least one wall having oriented fiber to include cellulose fiber extending the length of said body. This extending body has a surface that is smooth to the touch for additional processing methods such as machining, compression molding and 3 D printing.

PIXEL ARRAY MEDICAL SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS
20170296214 · 2017-10-19 ·

Systems, instruments, methods, and compositions are described involving removing a portion of the epidermis within a donor site on a subject, and harvesting dermal plugs within the donor site. An injectable filler is formed by mincing the dermal plugs. The injectable filler is configured for injecting into a recipient site on the subject.

Textile products having a sealant or coating and method of manufacture

A medical textile product includes a textile substrate having opposed first and second surfaces with the textile substrate including a textile construction of one or more yarns. The second surface includes a coating of a substantially water-insoluble, non-porous elastomeric sealant. The one or more yarns at the first surface are pre-treated with a removable composition, such that the water-insoluble elastomeric sealant encapsulates a portion of fibers of the one or more yarns at the second surface of the textile substrate. The textile substrate is substantially impermeable to fluid. The first surface is substantially free of the substantially water-insoluble elastomeric sealant. The textile substrate may be a non-tubular substrate, such as a planar sheet, a shaped sheet, and a tape, or a tubular substrate, such as a cylindrical conduit, a tubular conduit, a Y-shaped, a T-shaped conduit, a multi-channel conduit, and a bulbous shaped conduit.

Described herein are injectable alloplastic implant compositions that are particularly useful for soft tissue defect augmentation. The compositions include microparticles, such as polymethylmethacrylate particles, and collagen as a suspending agent, wherein the collagen contains a reduced amount of low molecular weight gelatine compared to high molecular weight collagen. By controlling the molecular weight of the collagen in the compositions, the injectability, stability, and antigenicity of the alloplastic implant compositions can be improved.
