Latest Patent Applications

Hsiang-Yin Lu has submitted several notable patent applications. One of his latest applications is for a biodegradable filler for the restoration of alveolar bones. This invention includes first cross-linked collagen fibers prepared from reacting non-crosslinked collagen fibers with a cross-linking agent, along with supporting particles that are biomedical ceramic particles, bioactive glass, or a combination thereof, distributed among the first cross-linked collagen fibers.

Another significant application is for a collagen membrane for medical use and the method for manufacturing the same. This invention outlines a method that involves preparing a collagen slurry, degassing it, and forming collagen gel at a predetermined collagen concentration, ionic strength, pH value, and temperature. The process continues with the removal of water in the collagen gel to form a collagen mat, which is then flattened and dried under vacuum. The resulting collagen membranes exhibit good biocompatibility, high tensile strength, hydrophilicity, flexibility, and easy handling features, making them suitable for tissue repair and wound healing.

Conclusion

Hsiang-Yin Lu's innovative work in biodegradable medical solutions highlights his commitment to advancing healthcare technology. His latest patent applications demonstrate his potential to contribute significantly to the field of biomedical materials.
