Appl. No.:

10/106653

Inventors:

Robert Hariri - Florham Park NJ, US
Aleksandr Kaplunovsky - Rockaway NJ, US
Patricia Murphy - Wayne NJ, US

International Classification:

A61F002/02

US Classification:

623/023720, 623/001410, 623/915000, 435/378000, 435/399000, 424/583000

Abstract:

A method of preparing a placental-derived amniotic membrane biofabric is provided. The biofabric is a dry decellularized amniotic membrane that is capable of being stored at room temperature, and subsequent to rehydration can be used for a variety of medical and/or research purposes. A laminate of said biofabric is also provided that can be shaped into complex shapes and repopulated with cells to generate both acellular and cellularized engineered tissues and organoids.

Abstract:

The present invention relates to collagenous membranes produced from amnion, herein referred to as a collagen biofabric. The collagen biofabric of the invention has the structural integrity of the native non-treated amniotic membrane, i.e., the native tertiary and quaternary structure. The present invention provides a method for preparing a collagen biofabric from a placental membrane, preferably a human placental membrane having a chorionic and amniotic membrane, by decellularizing the amniotic membrane. In a preferred embodiment, the amniotic membrane is completely decellularized. The collagen biofabric of the invention has numerous utilities in the medical and surgical field including for example, blood vessel repair, construction and replacement of a blood vessel, tendon and ligament replacement, wound-dressing, surgical grafts, ophthalmic uses, sutures, and others. The benefits of the biofabric are, in part, due to its physical properties such as biomechanical strength, flexibility, suturability, and low immunogenicity, particularly when derived from human placenta.

US Classification:

623010000, 623023720

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method of repairing a tympanic membrane deformity, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, commonly referred to as tympanoplasty or myringoplasty, using a collagen biofabric. The collagen biofabric is preferably laminated. The invention further provides kits comprising one or more pieces of collagen biofabric, for example laminated collagen biofabric, for the repair of a tympanic membrane.
