    Abstract: The present invention provides wound dressings, optionally surgically implantable, containing biodegradable, polymers and hydrogels having allogenic or autologous precursor cells, such as stem cells and progenitor cells dispersed within. Alternatively, the wound dressings can have conditioned medium obtained from the precursor cells dispersed within. The wound dressings promote tissue restoration processes at a site of application or implantation. Additional bioactive agents can also be dispersed within the polymer/hydrogel matrix, which can be formulated to biodegrade at a controlled rate by adjusting the composition. Methods are also provided for using such biodegradable wound dressings as a delivery device or carrier for the precursor cells, conditioned medium and bioactive agents, or as coatings on implantable medical devices, to promote tissue restoration at a lesion site.

    Abstract: The present invention is a stent for insertion into an artery or other vessel. The stent is formed from a series of tubular shaped bands each formed with a first end which overlaps a second end. The overlap between the first and second ends is variable and allows each band to move between a contracted configuration and a fully expanded configuration which are within the elastic limits of the band. Each band includes a plurality of receivers and a first tab on a first edge of the band to secure each band at or near the fully expanded configuration and allow the stent to conform to the contours of the vessel. The bands are distributed along a substantially common axis to form a tube interconnected by a pair of elongated strips. In use, the stent is placed over a balloon catheter and compressed to adopt the contracted configuration. The stent is maintained in the contracted configuration by a retainer. The balloon catheter and stent are then advanced through a placement catheter to a target site where the balloon is partially inflated to free the stent for expansion to an equilibrium configuration. The balloon may then be more fully inflated to further expand any of the bands in the stent to suit the needs of the patient. The balloon is then deflated and removed, leaving the expanded stent to support that target site.

    Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery that a vascular stent or other implantable medical device can be coated with a biodegradable biocompatible polymer to which is attached a bioligand that specifically captures progenitors of endothelial cells (PECs) from the circulating blood to promote endogenous formation of healthy endothelium in Type II diabetics. In one embodiment, the bioligand is a peptide that specifically binds to an integrin receptor on PECs. The invention also provides methods for using such vascular stents and other implantable devices to promote vascular healing in Type II diabetics, for example following mechanical intervention.

    Abstract: The invention provides systems containing a sterile container for aspiration, filtering, treating and reinjection into a subject of a bodily fluid in a sterile environment. The systems are particularly designed to facilitate transfection of cells within the sterile container by gene therapy molecules and reinjection of the transfected cells into the donor at controlled depth in precisely controlled volumes such as is useful for revascularization of ischemic cardiac tissue. For injection, a pressure actuator, preferably hand-held, applies force to liquids held within the sterile container in precisely controlled increments, thereby expressing liquids through a hollow needle or injection catheter in precisely controlled microvolumes. The invention systems include a hand-held injection device with audible cues that correspond to an operator-selected injection volume and/or audible cues that correspond to needle penetration depth selected by the operator.

    Abstract: The present invention provides stabilizing devices and methods of use for temporarily remotely immobilizing a local area of tissue, such as a local area of tissue on a beating heart, or other internal organ, to thereby permit minimally-invasive or robotic surgery thereon. The invention stabilizing device, which is coupled to a vacuum source, features an elastomeric suction body mounted on the steerable tip of a rod-like instrument, such as a steerable catheter. The flexible or steerable tip and elongate suction channel are sized for introduction into an interior body cavity via a small surgical opening. A steering mechanism mounted at the proximal end of the device is used to coil the elongate tip and suction channel into a ring- or horseshoe-shape within the body cavity. Preferably, the suction channel has a flexible, spreadable outer rim portion which is designed to flatten and spread outwardly against the surface of the treatment site as air is withdrawn from the coiled suction channel to distribute the pressure against the treatment site while maximizing the suction field. The suction body is manufactured of a soft, compliant material, such as an elastomeric polymer, to allow the suction channel to be transformed into the coiled conformation without deformation sufficient to defeat its purpose of use, i.e., clinging to the surface of a treatment site under partial vacuum.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a self-expanding stent for insertion into an artery or other internal vessel. The stent is formed from a series of radial bands each formed with overlapping first and second ends. The overlap between the first and second ends is variable, allowing each band to move between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration. The first and second ends of each band are both formed to include a tab which is folded to hold the first and second end against the band. The bands are distributed along a common axis to form a cylinder and interconnected by a pair of elongated strips. In use, the stent is placed over a balloon catheter and compressed to adopt the contracted configuration. The balloon catheter and stent are then advanced through a placement catheter and to a target site where the balloon is partially inflated to free the stent for self-expansion. The balloon may then be more fully inflated to further expand any of the radial bands in the stent. The balloon is then deflated and removed, leaving the expanded stent to support that target site.

    Abstract: The invention provides bioabsorbable elastomeric arterial support devices fabricated using elastomeric polymer networks and semi-interpenetrating networks in which a linear polymer is crosslinked by ester or alpha-amino-acid containing cross-linkers that polymerize upon exposure to active species. The invention devices are designed for implant into curved segments of artery and can be expanded during arterial implant and cross-linked in vivo in the expanded state to restore a clogged artery to extended function. The invention devices are useful for in vivo implant in diseased arteries and for delivery of a variety of therapeutic molecules in a time release fashion to surrounding tissues to reduce or eliminate arterial response to implant of the device.
