Abstract:
This invention provides a fluid therapeutic placental product comprising placental cells and a placental dispersion comprising placental factors. The placental cells and the placental dispersion are derived from placental tissue. A placental tissue can optionally be an amnion, chorion, or a trophoblast-depleted chorion. The placental product of the present invention is useful in treating a patient with a tissue injury (e.g. wound or burn) by applying the placental product to the injury. Similar application is useful with ligament and tendon repair and for engraftment procedures such as bone engraftment.
Abstract:
Provided herein is a placental product comprising an immunocompatible amniotic membrane. Such placental products can be cryopreserved and contain viable therapeutic cells after thawing. The placental product of the present invention is useful in treating a patient with a tissue injury (e.g. wound or burn) by applying the placental product to the injury. Similar application is useful with ligament and tendon repair and for engraftment procedures such as bone engraftment.

Abstract:
A support assembly for supporting a biological product (e.g., membrane) in an operative position. The support assembly has a base and a cover. A membrane receiving portion of the base defines a plurality of perforations that extend between top and bottom surfaces of the product receiving portion. The cover is releasably coupled to the base in a product-covering position in which the cover overlies the product receiving portion of the base. In the operative position, the biological product engages the top surface of the product receiving portion and the bottom surface of the cover.

Abstract:
This invention provides disrupted cartilage products, methods of manufacturing disrupted cartilage products, and methods of treating a subject comprising administering a cartilage product. The cartilage products are manufactured by a method comprising disrupting a collagen matrix, e.g. to produce a flexible cartilage product. Optionally, the cartilage products comprise viable chondrocytes, bioactive factors such as chondrogenic factors, and a collagen type II matrix. Optionally, the cartilage products are non-immunogenic.
Abstract:
This invention provides a therapeutic placental composition comprising placental cells and other placental components derived from placental tissue. A cryopreserved placental composition is also provided. The placental compositions can be used to stimulate and promote angiogenesis, reduce inflammation, and to reduce scar formation, among others. The placental tissue can optionally be an amnion, chorion, a trophoblast-depleted chorion, umbilical cord, Wharton's jelly, placental cotyledon, and/or maternal decidua. The placental composition of the present invention is useful in treating a patient with a tissue injury (e.g., wound or burn) by applying the placental composition to the injury or in close proximity. Placental compositions may also be used to promote or increase regeneration of tissue. Similar application is useful with ligament and tendon repair and for engraftment procedures such as bone engraftment.

Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions comprising a non-homogenized chorionic matrix, a homogenized amniotic matrix and a homogenized UC (UC) matrix, wherein the non-homogenized chorionic matrix comprises viable cells. Disclosed are methods of making the compositions disclosed herein comprising preparing a non-homogenized chorionic matrix, preparing a homogenized amniotic matrix, preparing a homogenized UC matrix, and combining the non-homogenized chorionic matrix, the non-homogenized chorionic matrix, and the homogenized UC matrix. Disclosed are methods of treating a tissue injury or chronic pain comprising administering any of the disclosed compositions to an area of a subject comprising a tissue injury.
