Embodiments of the present invention encompass fascia, fat, and dermis fibrous compositions, and methods for their manufacture and use. In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention encompass methods for obtaining a fascia fiber for use in producing a biotextile. Exemplary methods may include treating a cadaveric fascia tissue with acetone, and obtaining the fascia fibers from the treated fascia tissue. In some cases, methods may include processing the fascia fibers to produce the fibrous fascia biotextile.

Fascia fibrous compositions and methods for their use and manufacture

The invention is directed to formation and use of electroprocessed collagen, including use as an extracellular matrix and, together with cells, its use in forming engineered tissue. The engineered tissue can include the synthetic manufacture of specific organs or tissues which may be implanted into a recipient. The electroprocessed collagen may also be combined with other molecules in order to deliver substances to the site of application or implantation of the electroprocessed collagen. The collagen or collagen/cell suspension is electrodeposited onto a substrate to form tissues and organs.
