The present invention provides a cannula for delivering a tissue graft to a treatment site. The cannula comprises a distal end, a proximal end, a bore formed by an interior surface of the cannula, extending from the distal end to the proximal end and having a diameter, and a tissue graft inside the bore and in contact with the interior surface. The tissue graft may be released from the cannula at the distal end to the treatment site. The tissue graft may have a final loading pressure of 20-200 psi. Also provided is a delivery system comprising the cannula and a delivery device. Further provided are methods for delivering a tissue graft in a cannula to a treatment site and methods for preparing a cannula loaded with the tissue graft.

Tissue graft delivery devices and uses thereof

Soft tissue supports, soft tissue implants, and methods of making and using soft tissue supports are disclosed. One soft tissue support includes a unitary piece of processed porous tissue material having an anterior portion and a posterior portion. The anterior and posterior portions define a cavity therebetween. The cavity is sized to receive a breast implant therein. The cavity has at least one opening sized to receive the breast implant therethrough. One soft tissue implant includes the soft tissue support and a breast implant positioned within the cavity of the soft tissue support. The implant may further include a soft tissue graft configured to support the processed porous tissue material and the breast implant. A method of using a soft tissue support includes inserting a breast implant into the soft tissue support, and implanting the soft tissue support containing the breast implant in the cavity.
