The present invention aims to provide a cervical canal sealant that can be used as a sealant to stop bleeding in the uterus and vaginal discharge, particularly, a cervical canal sealant that can block the cervical canal to inhibit amniotic fluid leakage and that can also be peeled off without damaging reproductive tissue. The present invention relates to a sealant for reproductive organs in which a cured product (X) at 25° C. has a storage modulus G′ of 200 to 2,000 kPa, the cured product (X) being a cured product obtained by curing the sealant for reproductive organs to a thickness of 120 to 150 μm.

Ready to use packaged medical products that include hydrated hydrophilic medical devices and methods of making the same.

Aspects of the disclosure relate methods and synthetic scaffolds for regenerating gastrointestinal tissue (e.g., esophageal tissue).

Systems and methods of the present disclosure include a cell culture, a method for producing the cell culture, a kit for producing the cell culture, a method for treating inflammatory disease using the cell culture, and the like, for treating inflammatory disease. The cell culture containing cells can be derived from skeletal muscle.

The present invention provides a medical molded article including a bioabsorbable polyester and having excellent followability to a living body, and the present invention is a medical molded article including a bioabsorbable polyester, the medical molded article having an amount-of-work-holding rate of 55% or more, the amount-of-work-holding rate defined as a rate of an amount of work generated finally by an operation that is repeated 10 times to an amount of work generated first by the operation, the operation in which a tensile stress is applied to the medical molded article in a direction of a maximum length of the medical molded article to generate a tensile strain of 100% with respect to an initial length.

A method for preparing a biocompatible tissue for revitalization thereof, wherein such tissue has an essentially tubular shape. The method provides inserting a support that mainly extends along a longitudinal extension axis inside the cavity defined by the tissue and performing on the outer and/or inner surface of the tissue a plurality of holes spread out on at least one of the generatrixes of the tissue. Holes are made with a depth which occupies at least a part of the thickness of the tissue.

The disclosure provides a method of reducing formation of fibrotic tissue in a uterus of a subject in need thereof, comprising applying a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) sheet to the uterus of the subject, wherein the MSC sheet comprises one or more layers of aggregated confluent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and wherein applying the MSC sheet to the uterus reduces the formation of fibrotic tissue in the uterus relative to a uterus in which the MSC sheet is not applied. The disclosure also provides a method of increasing myometrial regeneration in a uterus of a subject in need thereof, comprising applying a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) sheet to the uterus of the subject, wherein the MSC sheet comprises one or more layers of aggregated confluent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and wherein applying the MSC sheet to the uterus increases myometrial regeneration relative to a uterus in which the MSC sheet is not applied.

Absorbable barrier composites are designed for modulated gas and water permeability depending on clinical use and are formed of at least two physicochemically distinct components, one of which is a film adjoined to a knitted mesh and/or electrostatically spun, non-woven fabric. Depending on the physicochemical properties of the barrier composite, it can be used in neurological and urinogenital surgical procedures as well as tissue engineering and/or as physical barriers to prevent adhesion formation following several types of surgical procedures.

The present application provides polymer materials having the desired properties for implantation into a human or animal body, in particular, biocompatibility, biodegradability, radiopacity and mechanical properties. Methods of making such polymer materials, compositions or devices comprising such polymer materials, and uses of such polymer materials, compositions and devices are also disclosed.

A method includes covering or contacting a portion of a recurrent laryngeal nerve of a subject with a shield including extraembryonic tissue. The covering occurs during a neck or reconstructive surgery of the subject.
