    摘要: A process for evaluating rheological characteristics of an injectable gel including measuring the flexibility, wherein the flexibility is evaluated by measuring the strain at the crossover point of the amplitude sweep. The process may include subjecting an injectable gel to oscillating mechanical stresses to determine G′ and G″ as a function of strain (γ) in an amplitude sweep, determining the crossover point as the point at which G′ and G″ have the same value, determining the strain γcross at the crossover point, and determining the flexibility of the injectable gel as γcross or proportional to γcross. Further, a method of comparison of dermal fillers by measuring their flexibility and a method of evaluation of dermal filler behavior in human skin by measuring the flexibility.

    摘要: Particles made of a viscoelastic medium, are injectable gel particles, and have a size, when subjected to a physiological salt solution, in the range of from 1 to 5 mm. The particles are useful in a soft tissue augmentation implant. The implant includes particles of a viscoelastic medium, wherein a major volume of the particles are injectable gel particles The implant is useful in a method of soft tissue augmentation in a mammal, including man, comprising subepidermal administration at a site in said mammal where soft tissue augmentation is desirable, of an implant.

    摘要: This invention relates to methods of producing collagen biomaterials by admixing (i) a solution of monomeric collagen, (ii) a solution of polymeric collagen, (ii) cargo particles, and (iv) a non-collagen blocking polymer, to produce a collagen solution. The collagen solution is then allowed to solidify to produce a collagen hydrogel. This may be useful in improving the stiffness of collagen hydrogel constructs and increasing the entrapment and retention of cargo particles.
