摘要:
The present patent describes a biocompatible composite made of a first fibrous layer attached to a three-dimensional inter-connected open cell porous foams that have a gradient in composition and/or microstructure through one or more directions. These composites can be made from blends of absorbable and biocompatible polymers. These biocompatible composites are particularly well suited to tissue engineering applications and can be designed to mimic tissue transition or interface zones.

The present patent describes a three-dimensional inter-connected open cell porous foams that have a gradient in composition and/or microstructure through one or more directions. These foams can be made from a blend of absorbable and biocompatible polymers that are formed into foams having a compositional gradient transitioning from predominately one polymeric material to predominately a second polymeric material. These gradient foams are particularly well suited to tissue engineering applications and can be designed to mimic tissue transition or interface zones.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus to monitor media presentations are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining demographic information of a user associated with a media device, the media device including monitoring functionality. An agreement is presented to the user via the media device. The monitoring functionality is enabled to monitor at least one of media presentation or user interaction via the control processor if the agreement is accepted.

The present patent describes a three-dimensional interconnected open cell porous foams that have a gradient in composition and/or microstructure through one or more directions. These foams can be made from a blend of absorbable and biocompatible polymers that are formed into foams having a compositional gradient transitioning from predominately one polymeric material to predominately a second polymeric material. These gradient foams are particularly well suited to tissue engineering applications and can be designed to mimic tissue transition or interface zones.
摘要:
The present invention includes a tissue scaffold suitable for use in repair and/or regeneration of musculoskeletal tissue when implanted in a body that includes a porous substrate made from a biodegradable, hydrophobic polymer having a modified hyaluronic acid complex dispersed on the surface of and/or, where the modified hyaluronic acid complex is insoluble in water, yet soluble in mixtures of organic and aqueous solvents in which the hydrophobic polymer is soluble.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to bone replacement devices and compositions containing a synthetic, bioabsorbable, biocompatible liquid polymer that is the reaction product of a polybasic acid or derivative thereof, a polyol and a fatty acid, the liquid polymer having a melting point less than about 40° C., as determined by differential scanning calorimetry.
摘要:
A prosthetic implant having a tissue scaffold and a fixation device with a scaffold support and an anchoring post. The anchoring post extends from a surface of the scaffold support at a selected angle with the scaffold support embedded within the scaffold. The scaffold has a porous ceramic phase and a porous polymer phase. The polymer is foamed while in solution that is infused in the pores of the ceramic to create a interphase junction of interlocked porous materials and embedding the scaffold support portion of the fixation device. The preferred method for foaming is by lyophilization. The scaffold may be infused or coated with a variety of bioactive materials to induce ingrowth or to release a medicament. The mutilayered porous scaffold can mimic the morphology of an injured tissue junction with a gradient morphology and cell composition.
