US Patent:

20130136773, May 30, 2013

Filed:

Sep 30, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/250096

Inventors:

Kenneth L. Horton - Birmingham AL, US
Gregory J. Yager - Mount Olive AL, US
Howard P. Wathall - Birmingham AL, US

International Classification:

A61K 35/50
A61K 9/00
B28B 1/50
C12N 5/071

US Classification:

424400, 435325, 424 937, 264154

Abstract:

A placental membrane including a plurality of slits for increasing the membrane's capacity to expand. The slits are provided through the membrane and provided in sufficient numbers across the surfaces of the membrane to produce a mesh-like pattern in the membrane. The mesh-like pattern enables the placental membrane to be stretched and therefore increased in length and width. For ease of handling and storage, the expandable placental membrane is removably adhered to a backing, rolled into a cylinder and placed within a capped vial containing a solution of amniotic fluid cells for improving the effectiveness of the membrane.

Abstract:

Implants for promoting bone growth and methods of using same, the implants including a perforated placental membrane sheet wrapped around an osteoconductive material composed of bone chips, bone granules, bone powders or combinations thereof, the osteoconductive material being configured for providing a scaffold upon which bone growth can occur. The placental membrane sheet acts to maintain the osteoconductive material in a cohesive, organized configuration within a site of a patient where bone growth is to be induced. The perforations in the placental membrane sheet create passageways in the exterior of the implant through which the osteoconductive material can communicate with adjacent bone surfaces which are to be fused.

Abstract:

A method for treating cartilage defects including providing a placental membrane preparation that comprises ground or minced placental membranes and optionally, a ground or minced cartilage and/or biocompatible glue, and introducing the preparation to a cartilage defect within a skeletal joint. The cartilage defect may comprise a hyaline cartilage defect, such as a chondral defect, or meniscal defect. The treatment may be provided in combination with other treatments such as marrow stimulation treatments and surgical repair treatments using sutures or other fixation techniques. The preparation promotes the regeneration of cartilage within the skeletal joint.

Assignee:

NuTech Medical, Inc. - Birmingham AL

International Classification:

A61K 35/50

Abstract:

The present disclosure generally pertains to methods of treating non-healing wounds. Specifically, the method includes injecting amnion fluid derived cells along the periphery of the wound. The wound is then treated with a placental membrane material including a plurality of slits for increasing the membranes capacity to expand. The slits produce a mesh-like pattern in the membrane material. The amniotic derived cells deliver to the wound electrolytes, growth factors, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, amino acids, lactate, pyruvate, enzymes, hormones and other factors useful in wound repair. The membrane material provides a scaffolding structure supporting cell growth, prevents microbial infection and decreases the rate of passive evaporative water and heat loss. The combination of the amniotic derived cells and the membrane material protects the wound and promotes cell regeneration.
