Abstract:
One aspect of the present disclosure can include a biocompatible tissue graft. The graft can include an extracellular matrix (ECM) patch or strip and at least one fiber stitched into the ECM patch or strip in a peripheral reinforcement pattern. The at least one fiber can have opposing terminal ends. The at least one fiber can mitigate tearing and/or improve fixation retention of the ECM patch or strip. The at least one fiber can comprise a plurality of interconnected stitches. The opposing terminal ends of the at least one fiber can be stitched together to form a continuous stitching construction.
