May 1, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/415036

Inventors:

Susan J. Drapeau - Cordova TN, US
Kathy L. Chamness - Memphis TN, US
William F. McKay - Memphis TN, US

Assignee:

Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc

International Classification:

A61F 2/28

US Classification:

424423, 424488

Abstract:

Described are medical implant devices that include particulate collagen and particulate demineralized bone matrix. These and potentially other materials are held together in a three-dimensionally stable structure such as a porous, resilient sheet, by an ionically-crosslinked polysaccharide gel. Also described are methods for making and using such medical devices.

Filed:

Apr 29, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/118125

Inventors:

William F. McKay - Memphis TN, US
Susan J. Drapeau - Cordova TN, US

International Classification:

A61M 5/00

US Classification:

604173, 604191, 604239

Abstract:

Described are novel methods for delivering a medical agent to a plurality of locations within a patient tissue volume such as the interior space of a spinal disc, and also for removing material therefrom during medical agent delivery to enhance the delivery. Also described are medical delivery devices such as needle assemblies configured to facilitate the regional delivery of medical agents to patient tissue.

Susan Drapeau - Cordova TN, US

International Classification:

A01N 63/00
C12N 5/00
C12N 15/00

US Classification:

424 9321, 435455, 435325

Abstract:

The invention provides fusion polypeptides comprising protein transduction domains and osteoinductive polypeptides, as well as methods of using such polypeptides to induce osteogenesis and to promote proteoglycan synthesis. The invention also provides osteoinductive peptides which have demonstrated the ability to induce bone formation in vivo.

Appl. No.:

11/777167

Inventors:

Daniel A. Shimko - Germantown TN, US
Scott Noel - Memphis TN, US
Susan J. Drapeau - Cordova TN, US
Josee Roy - Memphis TN, US

International Classification:

A01N 1/00

US Classification:

435 11

Abstract:

Disclosed are compositions and methods for the preservation, storage, and transport of living biological tissues, organs, and populations of isolated cells. In particular, the disclosed compositions and processes permit mammalian cells, tissues, and organs to be harvested from suitable donor animals, stored for prolonged periods, and transported to the site of recipient implantation, all without significant loss of cell viability, biological activity, and/or tissue integrity.

International Classification:

A01N 1/00

US Classification:

435 2, 435 11

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods for the preservation and storage of living biological tissues, organs, and populations of isolated cells. Also disclosed are compositions and methods to permit biological samples (including e. g. , cells, cell cultures, tissues, and organs) to be harvested from suitable donor animals, stored for prolonged periods under refrigerated, cryogenic, or near-freezing, and then transported and implanted into a site within the body of a selected recipient animal, all without significant loss of cellular viability, tissue integrity, and/or biochemical function of the stored biological sample.
