THERAPEUTIC HYDROGEL MATERIAL AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

A therapeutic hydrogel material includes a hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel matrix containing naked heparin nanoparticles distributed and entrained within the matrix. The naked heparin nanoparticles contained in the matrix are not immobilized to any other molecules at the time of delivery. In one aspect of the invention, the therapeutic hydrogel material is used to repair ischemic tissue in a subject (e.g., mammal). The therapeutic hydrogel material may also be used to treat wounds or other damaged tissue. To treat the subject or patient, the site of application is located and the therapeutic hydrogel material is injected or otherwise delivered (with or without a delivery device) to the delivery location along with a crosslinker.

Composite scaffold for the repair, reconstruction, and regeneration of soft tissues

A composite scaffold having a highly porous interior with increased surface area and void volume is surrounded by a flexible support structure that substantially maintains its three-dimensional shape under tension and provides mechanical reinforcement during repair or reconstruction of soft tissue while simultaneously facilitating regeneration of functional tissue.

BIORESORBABLE IMPLANT WITH INSIDE-OUT RESORPTION FOR ENHANCED BONE INGROWTH AND TISSUE INTEGRATION AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF
20210236693 · 2021-08-05 ·

Disclosed is a bioresorbable implant with enhanced bone ingrowth and tissue integration utilizing an inside-out resorption mechanism and a method to manufacture a bioresorbable implants for use in osteotomies and bone-soft tissue reconstruction surgeries. The bioresorbable implant includes a polymer A (e.g., an aliphatic polymer matrix) and/or poly(propylene fumarate)), a carbohydrate B (e.g., a bioresorbable natural carbohydrate filler) and a ceramic C. The implant may be a porous scaffold structures with suitable porosity, pore size, pore interconnectivity, and mechanical properties for enhanced osteoblast penetration and bone formation to fabricate tissue integrating bioresorbable implants. The implant may be shaped as wedges, bone void fillers, and soft tissue fixation implant like screws, rods and/or anchors. In some embodiments, the implant may be a putty.
