The present invention is directed to a composition comprising a matrix suitable for implantation in humans, comprising defatted, shredded, allogeneic human muscle tissue that has been combined with an aqueous carrier and dried in a predetermined shape. Also disclosed is a tissue graft or implant comprising a matrix suitable for implantation in humans, comprising defatted, shredded, allogeneic human muscle tissue that has been combined with an aqueous carrier and dried in a predetermined shape. The composition and/or tissue graft or implant of the invention is usable in combination with seeded cells, a tissue growth factor, and/or a chemotactic agent to attract a desired cell.
An implant comprising a matrix suitable for implantation in humans, said matrix comprising a dried slurry of allogeneic muscle tissue.
An implantable sheet suitable for use in humans comprising a matrix of allogeneic muscle tissue that has been combined with a carrier and dried into a predetermined shape.
An implant comprising a matrix suitable for implantation in humans, said matrix comprising a dried slurry of xenogeneic muscle tissue.
An implantable sheet suitable for use in humans comprising a matrix of xenogeneic muscle tissue that has been combined with a carrier and dried into a predetermined shape.
An intermediate composition for producing a matrix suitable for implantation in a human patient comprising lyophilized muscle tissue and a biocompatible acid;
