Abstract:
The disclosure describes collagen constructs comprising antifungal agents, preferably, copper, and related methods. Also described is a novel vacuum drying device and the use thereof.
Abstract:
The disclosure describes collagen constructs comprising anticancer agents, preferably, platinum, and related methods. Also described is a novel vacuum drying device and the use thereof.
Abstract:
Medical delivery devices include a needle and a flexible compressible impermeable tube attached to the needle. The compressible tube has an open interior channel. The device is adapted to releasably hold a length of a medical implant in the open interior channel of the tube. The medical implant can be slidably inserted into the interior channel of the tube and is loosely held by the tube.
Abstract:
The disclosure describes implantable bioprosthesis having an implantable braided or woven construct with a plurality of fibers interlocked or interlaced together.
Abstract:
Provided herein are biocompatible polymer conjugates comprising a biologically compatible polymer covalently bound to a biologically compatible chelator moiety, which in turn are optionally bound, reversibly, to pharmacologically active metal ions. The biologically compatible polymer may comprise of modified biomaterial or tissue grafts composed of at least one membrane, capable of recruiting stem cells in vivo and in vitro. Also described is a novel vacuum drying device and the use thereof.
Abstract:
Described herein are tissue grafts produced by contacting dehydrated placental tissue grafts with a cross-linking agent. The tissue grafts described herein provide barrier and prevent the migration of a bioactive agent from the wound. Thus, the tissue grafts enhance wound healing while preventing the undesirable migration of a bioactive agent from the wound. Methods for making and using the cross-linked grafts are also described herein.
Abstract:
The disclosure describes implantable medical products, that include dry or partially hydrated biocompatible biostaples suitable for ligament repairs or replacements comprising collagen fibers that may be configured to expand in situ after implantation to frictionally engage a bone tunnel wall or bone sleeve to thereby affix the construct in the bone tunnel.

Abstract:
The disclosure describes implantable bioprosthesis having an implantable construct with a multi-fiber array of collagen fibers attached together.
