Small Diameter Vascular Graft Produced By A Hybrid Method
view source
US Patent:

20130018454, Jan 17, 2013
Filed:

Nov 24, 2010
Appl. No.:

13/511511
Inventors:

Peter I. Lelkes - Cherry Hill NJ, US
Mengyan Li - Tampa FL, US
Anat Perets - Wynnewood PA, US
Pimporn Uttayarat - Philadelphia PA, US
Robert J. Levy - Merion Station PA, US
Russell J. Composto - Philadelphia PA, US
International Classification:

A61F 2/04
A61F 2/06
B05D 5/00
US Classification:

623 132, 427 224, 623 2371, 606152
Abstract:

The present invention relates to a hybrid graft and methods of generating the hybrid graft. The hybrid graft comprises an exterior surface and a luminal surface. The luminal surface comprises a micropattern of grooves to which cells adhere and orient along. The exterior surface comprises electrospun microfibers wherein the microfibers provide mechanical properties to the graft. The hybrid graft is capable supporting endothelial cell attachment, endothelial cell alignment, cell proliferation, and maintaining their in vivo function. The graft of the invention can recapitulate the in vivo morphology and function of natural vascular endothelium.

US Patent:

20150071982, Mar 12, 2015
Filed:

Sep 8, 2014
Appl. No.:

14/479536
Inventors:

- Philadelphia PA, US
David M. Eckmann - Wynnewood PA, US
Russell Composto - Philadelphia PA, US
International Classification:

A61L 29/08
A61L 29/16
US Classification:

424423, 514 36, 427 224
Abstract:

The invention provides compositions comprising a plurality of polymer layers for preventing or inhibiting microbial infections. Specifically, the invention provides a combination of a cationic polymer layer that resists adhesion of a microbe to its surface and an anionic polymer layer that releases a cationic anti-microbial agent in response to a change in pH or electrostatic balance.
