Arthur A. Beisang - Roseville MN

Assignee:

Genetic Laboratories, Inc. - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

A61K 3512

US Classification:

424 95

Abstract:

A process for treating animal tissue to make it acceptable for implantation in a human recipient without rejection or reabsorption, the process including the step of tanning the cartilage chemically or by irradiation: a preliminary dehydration step and a subsequent step of storage in an anti-microbial medium may also be used.

Appl. No.:

7/295937

Arthur A. Beisang - Roseville MN
Daniel G. Holman - Blaine MN
Robert A. Ersek - Austin TX

Assignee:

Genetic Laboratories, Inc. - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

A61B 1704

US Classification:

606216

Abstract:

An adhesive strip-like bandage for application to skin wounds for sealing the wound without surface stitches or staples. The wound closure strips may be fabricated from a bias cut, woven, or non-woven, polymer-based material or other film, exhibiting uni-directional stretch properties which permits the strips to stretch in a controlled manner during wound healing. The strip bandages are detachably mounted to a backing member and in one configuration comprise a comb-like structure.

International Classification:

A61F 548

US Classification:

128885

Abstract:

A sling device for surgical implantation into human recipient to support the urethra, the sling including an elongated strip of supple material. The elongated strip has a center portion, opposite first and second side portions, and a slot passing through the center portion, through which one of the side portions can pass, thereby forming a loop in the elongated strip. The material is a biological acceptable material for implantation into the human recipient, preferably selected from the group consisting of synthetic polymers, processed animal tissues, and combination thereof. A method of reducing the incidence of involuntary urination or restoring urinary continence in an incontinent human subject is also disclosed, including the steps of providing a sling device of the type previously described and surgically implanting the sling device in the human subject so that the urethra is biased upward so as to elevate the urethra.

International Classification:

C14C 100

US Classification:

8 9411

Abstract:

A method for preparing human and other animal umbilical cords for use as a vascular replacement and/or arterial venous fistula which permits the umbilical cord which is to be grafted to be preformed into a desired predetermined configuration. The method includes roughening the surface of the umbilical cord at the point of juncture with the host tissue, external to the umbilical cord, thereby improving the sealing arrangement at said juncture to allow for puncturing of the graft as well as mechanical retention. Additionally, the method may include the steps of flushing the cord in an aqueous solution either before or after roughening, and then the flushed cord is mounted upon a mandrel having the desired configuration. The roughened and mounted cord may then be immersed in ethyl alcohol until substantially dehydrated, and thereafter fixed in an aldehyde selected from the class consisting of dialdehyde starch and gluteraldehyde, with the aldehyde fixing the roughened tissue into a shape conforming to the mandrel upon which it is mounted.

International Classification:

A61L 1700
C14C 308

US Classification:

8 9411

Abstract:

A method for preparing human and other animal unbilical cords for use as a vascular replacement and/or arterial venous fistula which permits the umbilical cord which is to be grafted to be preformed into a desired predetermined configuration. The method includes the steps of initially flushing the cord in an aqueous solution, and then mounting the flushed cord upon a mandrel having the desired configuration. The mounted cord is immersed in ethyl alcohol until substantially dehydrated and preformed, and is thereafter immersed for fixation in an aldehyde selected from the class consisting of dialdehyde starch and gluteraldehyde, with the aldehyde immersion fixing the tissue into a shape conforming to the mandrel upon which it is mounted.
