Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a biphasic collagen membrane for guided tissue regeneration in a human or other mammal.
  • Collagen has been used as an implantable biomaterial for more than 50 years.
  • the collagen used for biomedical implants is either derived from animals (e.g., cows, pigs, horses) and humans, or it is manufactured in vitro using recombinant engineering. It is known to be biocompatible and is resorbed and remodeled like natural tissues, via cellular and enzymatic processes.
  • Bone is the body's primarily structural tissue; consequently it can fracture and biomechanically fail. Fortunately, it has a remarkable ability to regenerate because bone tissue contains stem cells which are stimulated to form new bone within bone tissue and adjacent to the existing bone. Boney defects regenerate from stem cells residing in viable bone, stimulated by signally proteins, and multiplying on existing cells or on an extracellular matrix (i.e., trellis). Like all tissues, bone requires support via the vascular system to supply nutrients and cells, and to remove waste. Bone will not regenerate without prompt regeneration of new blood vessels (i.e., neovascularization), typically with the first days and weeks of the regenerative cascade.
  • new blood vessels i.e., neovascularization
  • the present invention provides a sheet or membrane of resorbable collagen which may be used by surgeons as an implantable medical device to aid in a variety of tissue regenerative indications.
  • sheets or membranes of collagen have been either highly porous and biomechanically weak or they have been minimally porous and biomechanically strong.
  • High strength and stiff collagen provides structure for containing or retaining cells, growth factors or particulate matrices; however low porosity precludes the ingrowth of blood vessels and regenerative cells.
  • Highly porous collagen permits essential ingrowth but does not contain or retain cells, growth factors or particulate matrices at a targeted location.
  • the present invention provides a resorbable biomaterial for guided tissue regeneration which is biphasic, with selected areas designed for high strength and other areas designed for high porosity.
  • the invention thus provides a biocompatible and resorbable collagen membrane, sheet or capsule with biphasic collagen for guided tissue regeneration which is ideal for many bone reconstructive indications.
  • the membranes or sheets of the invention serve four functions. First, they serve as a trellis for tissue regeneration. Second, they serve as a barrier for separating tissues. Third, they serve as a biocompatible structural material for containing biomaterials at a desired location and/or in a desired configuration. Fourth, they serve as load bearing materials, typically in tension.
  • Trellises of porous biomaterials serve as a framework on which and through which tissue can grow. Most tissues, including bone, proliferate only by attaching to a structure or matrix. Cells then multiply and expand on pre-existing cells, extra-cellular matrix or biomaterials. Therefore, these matrices must have porosity. However, porosity generally decreases strength, typically non-linearly such that a small amount of porosity disproportionally decreases mechanical properties. The optimal porosity has been characterized in the musculoskeletal, field, for various principal regenerative tissues. For neovascular tissue (i.e., new blood vessels), pore diameters must be larger than 20 micrometers. For osteoid (non-mineralized bone), pore diameters must be larger than 50 micrometers. For bone formation, pore diameters must be larger than 100 micrometers.
  • Tissue regeneration is a race between competing tissues. Whichever tissue fills the space first, will dominate. Fibrovascular tissues proliferate faster than bone tissue. Consequently, fibrovascular tissue can preferentially fill in a defect where bone is desired, resulting in scar tissue.
  • the present inventors have discovered that a membrane of collagen according to the invention can block the fibrovascular tissue, giving more time for bone formation to occur. Therefore, by using biocompatible, resorbable membranes according to the present invention as barriers to tissue regeneration, bone surgeons can exclude fibrovascular (i.e., scar tissue) from bone defects.
  • implanted tissue augmentation materials in a living body can be a difficult task. Moreover, because a living body is a dynamic environment, implanted materials may shift in position over time.
  • the use of strategically shaped and implanted membranes according to the present invention facilitates precise placement of implanted biomaterials and enables containment or retention of the implanted biomaterial at the desired location within the body.
  • the present invention makes use of collagen as a resorbable biomaterial for implantable medical devices to aid in tissue regeneration and repair.
  • collagen biomaterials can be manufactured to resorb over a prescribed range, typically from 6 weeks to one year.
  • the present invention uses collagen membranes with three dimensional shapes to facilitate tissue regeneration, particularly bone. These three dimensional shapes are manufactured by casting collagen in male and female molds and lyophilizing, to form a highly porous structure. The collagen membranes are then collapsed and cross linked to provide high strength, stiff membranes. Collagen membranes can be formed into a variety of three dimensional shapes, such as capsules, wedges or balloons. For example, capsules can be formed to contain and retain bone grafting materials to their desired location. These capsules can aid in the reconstruction of the buccal plate after tooth extraction. Early models of such capsules, however, were monophasic. For maximum effectiveness, the capsules must have adequate porosity for ingrowth of blood vessels and bone cells.
  • the present invention solves this need by providing biphasic collagen membranes for guided tissue regeneration.
  • the biphasic collagen membranes or capsules for guided tissue regeneration in accordance with the present invention may be produced by the following processes.
  • Three dimension shapes of collagen membranes can be manufactured by a casting process using male/female molds.
  • the space between the molds is filled with a collagen suspension.
  • Macroscopic holes can be made in the membrane with strategically placed pins transecting the mold cavity. After lyphilization, the pins are removed and the mold is decoupled. The membrane can then be rehydrated and dried to provide a high strength three dimensional form. This process provides membranes with one portion of the surface contains transmembrane, unidirectional holes and another portion without porosity, but with high strength and stiffness.
  • Three dimension shapes of collagen membranes can be manufacturing using male/female molds and the following penetration process.
  • the space between the molds is filled with a collagen suspension.
  • the membrane can then be rehydrated and dried to provide a high strength three dimensional form.
  • Macroscopic holes can then be made in the membrane with strategically placed pins, cuts, or laser cutting. This process provides membranes in which one portion of the surface contains transmembrane, unidirectional holes and another portion is free of porosity, but exhibits high strength and stiffness.
  • Biphasic collagen membranes can also be made by a selective rehydration/drying process.
  • Three dimension shapes of collagen membrane are first manufactured using male/female molds by filling the space between the molds with collagen suspension. After lyphilization, a selected portion of the porous membrane is rehydrated and dried to provide a high strength three dimensional form. The remaining portion that is not rehydrated/dried retains an open porosity, but has a lower strength and stiffness. This process provides membranes with one portion of the membrane contains interconnected porosity with relatively low stiffness and another portion of the membrane has high stiffness and low porosity.
  • the biphasic collagen membrane or capsule of the invention has a number of important advantages for guided tissue regeneration.
  • the membrane or capsule of the invention exhibits optimal porosity.
  • the membrane or capsule of the invention assures that the optimal porosity is provided in collagen membranes to assure neovascular ingrowth and bone cell ingrowth because pores of the required dimensions are precisely manufactured.
  • the biphasic collagen membrane or capsule of the invention also exhibits optimal strength.
  • the membrane or capsule of the invention assures that the optimal mechanical properties are provided in collagen membranes so that they will deposit bone graft materials at the optimal location at retain the deposited materials at that location.
  • the biphasic collagen membrane or capsule of the invention also provides convenience for the surgeon who uses it. Although a surgeon could make holes in conventional collagen membranes, the precision and continuity of the holes in the membrane or capsule of the invention would be difficult for a surgeon to replicate with typical surgical tools. Moreover, if the surgeon attempts to form perforations in the membrane, the membranes may be excessively cut or penetrated to an extent that causes it to lose the desired mechanical attributes (i.e., graft containment, tissue separation). In addition, operating time by the surgeon and staff is conserved by using the biphasic membranes of the invention.
  • the biphasic membrane of the invention also has the advantage that infection rates are decreased because excessive handling of the biomaterial and excessive shaping/cutting time is eliminated.
  • lyphilization refers to “freeze drying” or vacuum drying.
  • the a molded collagen suspension is placed in a freezer and then a vacuum is applied. Under vacuum, the water within the collagen moves directly from the solid phase to the gas phase. Consequently, there is no shrinking or change to the dimensions. This makes a highly porous, but relatively weak collagen structure.
  • a key step in the production process according to the invention is then to lightly wet the porous collagen with water which collapses the porosity. The material is then air dried. This makes a much stronger/stiffer collagen membrane. Air drying also crosslinks some of the collagen molecules to further increase the strength and decrease the resorption rate.
  • FIG. 1 is an illustration of a biphasic collagen socket capsule according to the present invention for use in repair of a buccal plate after tooth extraction;
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged illustration of the biphasic collagen socket capsule of FIG. 1 showing the perforations formed in the porous region of the membrane.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a socket capsule according to the invention constructed of biphasic collagen for guided tissue regeneration in order to repair a buccal plate after tooth extraction.
  • the buccal plate often becomes a thin layer of bone, particularly on the exterior surface (i.e., lip side) of the mandible or maxilla where it meets the teeth. If a natural tooth must be extracted because of a functional or cosmetic deviance, it may be replaced with a dental implant. Often, this buccal plate fractures during extraction or is resorbed.
  • Dental implants require bone insertion depth to biologically anchor the metal surface into the mandible or maxilla. This biological process is called osteointegration. After tooth extraction, the surgeon must regenerate the amount of bone in the extraction socket and in buccal plate to at least the minimum depth to provide adequate osteointegration of the dental implant.
  • a capsule of relatively stiff, high density, low porosity collagen is ideal for containing bone grafting material and placing into the socket of an extracted tooth.
  • the capsule restrains the bone grafting material to exactly the correct location for maximum bone formation.
  • the low porosity of a capsule made of conventional collagen material may impede bone formation because bone formation requires neovascular ingrowth and osteoprogenitor cells from outside the capsule and the low porosity collagen material may act as a barrier against neovascular growth and migration of osteoprogenitor cells.
  • capsules of bovine, Type 2 collagen were manufactured which are biphasic.
  • the completed capsules are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • the capsule can be filled with bone graft material such as autograft, allograft, growth factors, or ceramic particles.
  • the apical portion and lingual side are formed with a matrix of perforations which give these regions a high porosity for facilitating neovascular ingrowth.
  • the buccal portion has high stiffness to retain the bone graft material crestally.
  • the biphasic collagen capsules for guided tissue regeneration according to the invention were produced as follows:
  • the first step is casting the basic capsule.

  • a material may be introduced in interior of the collagen capsule or balloon and allow the material to migrate from the inside to the outside.
  • An example of having a material move from the inside to the outside is bone cement.
  • Bone cement is a methyl-methacrylate based, non-resorbable biomaterial used to fix hip and knee metal implants.
  • a large hole is made in the vertebral body with a removable, standard rubber balloon, similar to an angioplasty balloon or a sinus balloon.
  • Bone cement is then injected into the hole to fix the fracture.
  • An application of the biphasic collagen balloon is to be able to direct the location of the cement.
  • the cement may selectively penetrate through the holes, particularly where it is weaker than the less porous areas to make adhesive contact with the surrounding bone tissue at specifically desired locations.
