Abstract
Implantable medical constructs formed by winding using winding support structures that can be flexible and can be integrated into the medical construct with biocompatible fiber(s) and/or yarn(s) and at least one continuous length collagen fiber. The implantable medical construct can include open suture anchor apertures formed using posts during a winding sequence.
Claims8
A medical patch, comprising:
- a patch body comprising a perimeter with a first side and an opposing second side, each of the first and second sides having an outer edge portion, wherein each outer edge portion comprises a first biocompatible fiber and/or yarn extending parallel to the first and second sides;
- at least one continuous length collagen fiber that extends a plurality of times across the patch body in a mesh pattern having a plurality of overlying layers defining interstitial spaces and at least a portion of the at least one continuous length collagen fiber extends in a range of about 345 degrees to about 360 degrees about an outer surface of the at least one first biocompatible fiber and/or yarn of the outer edge portion of the first and second sides;
- and
- a second biocompatible fiber and/or yarn residing within the patch body between the plurality of overlying layers of the mesh pattern, positioned inwardly and spaced apart from the outer edge portion of the first and second sides.
