Abstract:
The present invention relates to an implant comprising: a sheet of bacterial cellulose having a macro-pattern positioned on at least a portion thereof. The invention also relates to a method for making such an implant.
Abstract:
An implant and a process for preparing such an implant are disclosed. The implant includes a mesh including a biodegradable polymeric coating having glass transition temperature of about 26° C. to about 36° C. The polymeric coating includes a first polymeric component including a lactone and a second polymeric component including a polyether. The first polymeric component is present in an amount from about 90% to about 99% of the polymeric coating and the second polymeric component is present in an amount from about 1% to about 10% of the polymeric coating.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composite implant comprising: a prosthetic fabric having a first side and a second side, a non-porous film of bacterial cellulose secured to the first side of the fabric. The invention further relates to a method of making such an implant.
