Devices and methods for treating diseased or damaged portions of an intervertebral region are provided. In particular, intervertebral implants that can include use of a tissue regeneration structure having small intestine submucosa are described. The intervertebral implants can be utilized with any combination of load bearing structures for supporting loading on the implant, shaping structures for biasing the configuration of the implant, collapsible support structures for shaping the implant, and other features. Implants can also be formed with an enclosure to contain a filling material, such as an injectable small intestine submucosa formulation. Methods of delivering and utilizing the various implants are also discussed.

A composite stent graft has a balloon expandable stent portion (3), a tubular graft material portion (1) inside or outside of the balloon expandable stent portion and self expanding stents (5) associated with the tubular graft material portion. Part (7) of the balloon expandable stent portion can extend beyond the proximal end (9) of the tubular graft material portion. The tubular graft material can be polytetrafluoroethylene, Dacron, Thoralon™, polyamide, small intestine submucosa, collagenous extracellular matrix material, or any other suitable biocompatible material. A method of deploying which includes flaring a part (7) of the balloon expandable stent portion is also discussed.

A small intestine submucosa mesh is adapted for use in surgical abdominal closure routines. The submucosa mesh is incorporated into the normal surgical protocol for abdominal closure procedures. The submucosa mesh is applied to the abdominal incision area and maintains and enhances the stability and integrity of the abdominal wall closure, thereby preventing the onset or occurrence of incisional hernias. The submucosa mesh can also be applied to surgical closure procedures involving treatment of a hernia defect, such as an incisional hernia or other non-incisional hernia. The submucosa construct can also be adapted for use as a suturing component or bioretention suture. The submucosa construct can be adapted for use as part of a surgical strategy to facilitate wound healing, regeneration, reconstruction, and replacement of anatomical structures, such as tissues and organs.

A stent scaffold combined with amniotic tissue provides for a biocompatible stent that has improved biocompatibility and hemocompatibility. The amnion tissue can be variously modified or unmodified form of amnion tissue such as non-cryo amnion tissue, solubilized amnion tissue, amnion tissue fabric, chemically modified amnion tissue, amnion tissue treated with radiation, amnion tissue treated with heat, or a combination thereof. Materials such as polymer, placental tissue, pericardium tissue, small intestine submucosa can be used in combination with the amnion tissue. The amnion tissue can be attached to the inside, the outside, both inside and outside, or complete encapsulation of the stent scaffold. In some embodiments, at least part of the covering or lining comprises a plurality of layers of amnion tissue. The method of making the biocompatible stent and its delivery and deployment are also discussed.

The invention provides a mold for preparing an accellular small intestine submucosa matrix material, which is composed of a base and a pressure screen, wherein the base is a square plate with pins on four sides, and the pins are perpendicular to the square plate; the pressure screen is a square frame with a square frame structure or reticular structure inside; and the length of the four sides of the pressure screen is 1-3 cm smaller than that of the base. When being used for preparing the accellular porcine small intestine submucosa matrix material, the mold can not compress the space structure of the accellular porcine small intestine submucosa matrix material or destroy the three-dimensional structure of the natural extracellular matrix, and can ensure the porosity of the prepared accellular porcine small intestine submucosa matrix material.

The invention provides a mold for preparing an accellular small intestine submucosa matrix material, which is composed of a base, a pressure frame and a pressure screen, wherein the base is a square plate with bolt holes at four corners; the pressure frame is a hollow square frame with bolt holes at four corners; the pressure screen is a square frame with a square frame structure or reticular structure inside; the bolt holes in the base are corresponding to the bolt holes in the pressure frame one by one; the external diameter of the pressure frame is the same as the dimension of the base; and the inner diameter of the pressure frame is the same as the dimension of the pressure screen. When being used for preparing the accellular porcine small intestine submucosa matrix material, the mold can not compress the space structure of the accellular porcine small intestine submucosa matrix material or destroy the three-dimensional structure of the natural extracellular matrix, and can ensure the porosity of the prepared accellular porcine small intestine submucosa matrix material.

The invention relates to a tissue repairing material with bioactivity and a preparation method thereof. The material is made by compounding human body living cells, and extracellular matrixes and cell growth factors synthesized and excreted by the human body living cells on the acellular small intestine submucosa. Natural antigen components are removed from the prepared tissue repairing material with bioactivity, and when the tissue repairing material is applied to a wound, the tissue repairing material can survive and directly take part in the repair of the wound to continuously synthesize and excrete growth factors, guide the cells around the wound to grow in and the creation of blood vessel, and induce the differentiation of stem cells to skin cells, thereby obviously promoting the wound healing; besides, the tissue repairing material not only has part of the characteristics of human body tissues and the good mechanical property of the acellular small intestine submucosa, but also has high biocompatibility to human body, obviously reduces the immune rejection; at the same time, the prepared tissue repairing material can cover the surface of wound, fill the defection of soft tissues, promote the growth and proliferation of the cells around the wound, repair the defection of the soft tissue organs, and promote the wound healing.

A medical device (40) including a collagenous biomaterial (10) for causing embolus and treating an aneurysm. The collagenous biomaterial (10) includes a small intestine submucosa (12) that is configured into various components (16) for causing a vascular occlusion or a packing aneurysm lumen.

A vascular occlusion device for occluding a body cavity. The device includes an elongate flexible member having a proximal portion extending to a distal portion and a radially compressible substance being disposed therebetween. The substance is configured to promote growth of body tissue and may include an extracellular matrix such as small intestine submucosa. The proximal and distal end portions are anchored to the cavity walls such that the position of the substance within the body cavity promotes the growth of body tissue to occlude the body cavity. In one example, the body cavity includes a patent foramen ovale.

The invention discloses a biological sponge based on the acellular small intestinal submucosa and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps of preparing the acellular porcine small intestinal submucosa, pepsin enzymatic hydrolysis, washing, lyophilization, pulverization and cross-linking. According to the preparation method, the porcine small intestinal submucosa istaken as a source; after the decellularization treatment, the immunological rejection is extremely small. At the same time, the cross-linking treatment is carried out by using a non-toxic cross-linking agent to ensure the biosafety of the obtained product. The product can be used not only for wound repair, but also as an excellent tissue engineering skin scaffold material. The product is sufficient in source, safe and reliable, cheap and easy to obtain. The composition and structure are similar to the humans. No ethical problems exist, and scale industrial preparation can be facilitated.
