Systems for drying sheets of donor-provided human tissue

Abstract

Embodiments of this technology may include an apparatus for drying tissue. The apparatus may include human donor tissue placed in contact with and between at least two layers of backing material. This tissue and backing layer may then be restrained by two plates. This tissue may be amniotic tissue. The backing layer may include woven or nonwoven material. This backing layer may be wetted with a saline solution. At least one of the plates of the tissue drying apparatus may be perforated. The tissue assembly along with the plates may then be placed inside a chamber configured to receive the plates and tissue assembly. The chamber may be configured so that gas can be forced into the chamber with the gas flow going around the plates and the tissue assembly.
