Disclosed are apparatus, compositions, and methods for promoting regeneration of tissue on a subject such as a wounded, damaged, or injured appendage, or within a subject such as a wounded, damaged, or injured organ. The disclosed apparatus, composition, and methods include or utilize wearable sleeves and regenerative compositions.

Embodiments of the present invention provide improved prosthetic devices. The prosthetic devices may be fabricated using environmental friendly, renewable and sustainable materials. Methods of manufacturing the devices are also provided. Additionally, the present invention provides an environmental friendly, renewable and sustainable substitute for carbon and/or fiberglass materials.

The present invention discloses a bone void filler and a method for manufacturing the same by natural calcium-containing waste, which comprises steps of mixing 5-20 wt % of a calcium-containing waste powder, 5-20 wt % of acetic acid and a remaining weight percentage of water uniformly to obtain a mixing solution; adding 5-20 vol % of a diammonium hydrogen phosphate solution to the mixing solution to obtain a suspension; controlling a pH value of the suspension to obtain an alkaline solution; leaving the alkaline solution at room temperature for precipitation for 0.1 to 72 hours, centrifuging or suction filtrating the alkaline solution to obtain a precipitate, drying and grinding the precipitate to obtain hydroxyapatite; and mixing 30-60 wt % of a pore former and 30-60 wt % of the hydroxyapatite and a remaining weight percentage of a binder uniformly to form a mixture, compression molding the mixture in a mold and sintering the compression-molded mixture.

An improved composition for a thermoplastic elastomer that is used in a product that touches the skin. The thermoplastic elastomer contains a styrene block copolymer, a plasticizing oil, and CBD oil. The plasticizing oil and the CBD oil, in combination, comprise at least eighty percent of the thermoplastic elastomer by weight. The plasticizing oil and the CBD oil have the same, or similar, molecular weights. In that manner, the plasticizing oil and the CBD oil can form a homogenous mixture. The CBD oil saturates the thermoplastic elastomer and will slowly bloom out of the thermoplastic elastomer over time. The migration of the CBD oil brings the CBD oil to the exposed surfaces of the thermoplastic elastomer, therein enabling the CBD oil to be absorbed by the skin.

Provided herein are scaffold biomaterials including a decellularized plant or fungal tissue from which cellular materials and nucleic acids of the tissue are removed, the decellularized plant or fungal tissue having a 3-dimensional porous structure; wherein the decellularized plant or fungal tissue may optionally be at least partially coated or mineralized, wherein the scaffold biomaterial may optionally further include a protein-based hydrogel and/or a polysaccharide-based hydrogel, or both. Also provided herein are methods and uses of such scaffold biomaterials, including methods of manufacture as well as methods and uses for bone tissue engineering, for example.

Disclosed is a biocomposite product with high microbial activity obtained by using bee bread, the method of obtaining this product and using of this biocomposite material for the coating of products like artificial materials, packaging, etc. to be used in areas requiring hygiene or their use as an intermediate raw material.

The disclosure provides bone graft materials, methods for their use and manufacture. Exemplary bone graft materials comprise combining a radiopaque component with a cancellous bone component to produce a bone graft material, wherein the cancellous bone component comprises native osteoreparative cells. Methods for treating a subject with the bone graft material are also provided.

The present invention provides a porous tricalcium phosphate material, modified from a coral bone and having a plurality of pores, wherein the average compressive strength of the porous tricalcium phosphate material is 4 kgf to 9 kgf. Besides, the present invention also provides a method for bone healing and a manufacturing method for the porous tricalcium phosphate material. The porous tricalcium phosphate material of the present invention has the advantages of biocompatibility and no immunological rejection response, and also has significantly better mechanical properties and bone healing efficacy so as to better meet the needs of the patients.

The invention relates to biological biocomposites which comprise a collagen scaffold containing probiotics entrapped into the collagen scaffold and exopolysaccharides. The invention also relates to methods for obtaining the biocomposites as well as to the use of biocomposites in medicine and, more in particular, in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis.

Graft materials and devices for surgical breast procedures, as well as methods of making graft devices, are described.
