Researchers Submit Patent Application, "Nonuniform Embroidered Soft Tissue Implant Structure", for Approval (USPTO 20240374367).

Researchers have submitted a patent application for a "Nonuniform Embroidered Soft Tissue Implant Structure" that aims to improve surgical repair materials and medical textiles for soft tissue reconstruction. The implant includes a nonuniform stitching pattern embroidered into a substrate, providing localized tensile strength while allowing the implant to deform in multiple directions. This innovation could be beneficial for various soft tissue repair and reconstruction procedures, such as hernia repair, breast reconstruction, and pelvic organ prolapse treatment. The patent application was filed by inventors from Pennsylvania and made available online in November 2024. [Extracted from the article]
