Tissue derived porous matrices for treating wounds are provided, as well as methods for making and using them. The tissue derived porous matrices comprise processed tissue of any of several types, such as dermis, adipose, etc., and have a plurality of interconnected pores which allow fluid flow through the matrices. The tissue derived matrices are biocompatible resorbable matrices which remodel with native tissue and facilitate and enhance cell infiltration and tissue ingrowth into the matrices during the wound healing process, thereby enhancing wound healing and tissue remodeling when implanted into a patient. The tissue derived matrices are useful with reduced or negative pressure wound healing methods and systems, without the need to repeatedly revisit the treatment site and remove previously implanted matrices.

Tissue derived porous matrices and methods for making and using same

Compositions including a first soft tissue-derived matrix and a second soft tissue-derived matrix are provided, as well as methods of making such compositions. In some embodiments, the composition comprises dilapidated, decellularized adipose tissue-derived matrix and dilapidated, decellularized fascial tissue-derived matrix, which may be combined in various proportions. Such adipose-fascia matrix compositions provide improved volume retention when implanted into a patient. The composition may further include exogenous cells or other substances, and/or a carrier. The composition is suitable for use in plastic surgery procedures, including reconstructive or cosmetic surgery procedures, as well as procedures for wound treatment and tissue regeneration. The methods for making the compositions may involve separation of first and second soft tissues from one another, followed by performing one or more treatments on the separated soft tissues, then combining the treated soft tissues and, optionally, performing one or more additional treatments on the combined soft tissues.

Acellular soft tissue-derived matrices and methods for preparing same

Compositions including a first soft tissue-derived matrix and a second soft tissue-derived matrix are provided, as well as methods of making such compositions. In some embodiments, the composition comprises delipidated, decellularized adipose tissue-derived matrix and delipidated, decellularized fascial tissue-derived matrix, which may be combined in various proportions. Such adipose-fascia matrix compositions provide improved volume retention when implanted into a patient. The composition may further include exogenous cells or other substances, and/or a carrier. The composition is suitable for use inplastic surgery procedures, including reconstructive or cosmetic surgery procedures, as well as procedures for wound treatment and tissue regeneration. The methods for making the compositions may involve separation of first and second soft tissues from one another, followed by performing one or more treatments on the separated soft tissues, then combining the treated soft tissues and, optionally, performing one or more additional treatments on the combined soft tissues.
