Patent granted for surgical method using xenograft implants
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11883437B2) outlines a surgical method for utilizing a graft in the treatment of human patients, particularly in hernia surgery or abdominal repair. The method involves the preparation of the graft using bovine dermis with a native dermal matrix. The process includes treating the dermis with specific solutions such as aqueous alkaline sodium sulfide, saline, and hydrogen peroxide, followed by dehydration with organic solvents like acetone or ethanol. Importantly, the graft maintains the histoarchitecture of the native dermal matrix and is non-crosslinked, ensuring its effectiveness in surgical procedures.
Furthermore, the patent details specific steps and parameters for the preparation of the graft, such as the duration of treatment with solutions, volume ratios, concentrations of salts and hydrogen peroxide, and dehydration processes. The method allows for customization of the graft shape through punching, stamping, or cutting the bovine dermis into various predetermined shapes, including squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, ovals, or even irregular and asymmetric shapes. By following the outlined steps and parameters, surgeons can effectively utilize the prepared graft in hernia surgeries, providing a potentially improved treatment option for patients requiring such procedures.
