Abstract

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide for multi-layered implantation materials, methods of making a multi-layered implantation material, methods of forming a multi-layered implantation material, methods of forming a multi-layered implantation material having a spiral roll cross-section, and the like.

Claims (41)

1. A method of forming a multi-layered implantation material, comprising the steps of:

obtaining an amniotic membrane;

decellularizing the amniotic membrane to produce a decellularized amniotic membrane;

forming a multi-layered implantation material by wrapping the amniotic membrane around itself to form a multi-layered structure having a spiral roll cross-section with two or more spiral layers;

freeze drying the multi-layered implantation material; and

after forming the multi-layered implantation material, culturing the multi-layered implantation material under conditions whereby the membrane is colonized by a population of cells.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the decellularized amniotic membrane is substantially free of non-amniotic tissue.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the amniotic membrane is decellularized by contact with sodium dodecyl sulphate or sodium chloride.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the amniotic membrane is decellularized by contact with sodium chloride.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multi-layered implantation material is an implant for a subject human or animal.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: disposing the multi-layered implantation material onto a second multi-layered implantation material to form a structure; and freeze drying the structure.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising: drilling a plurality of drilled holes in the amniotic membrane.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the drilled holes can have a diameter of about 1 to 500 micrometers and wherein one or more pairs of drilled holes are spaced by about 1 micrometer to 10 millimeters.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: drilling a plurality of holes in the multi-layered amniotic membrane before wrapping the amniotic membrane around itself.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the drilled holes can have a diameter of about 1 to 500 micrometers and wherein one or more pairs of drilled holes are spaced by about 1 micrometer to 10 millimeters.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising: freeze drying the amniotic membrane before drilling the plurality of holes.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising: cross-linking the multi-layered amniotic membrane.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein wrapping includes wrapping the multi-layered implantation material around a structure to form the multi-layered implantation structure having the spiral roll cross-section, wherein removal of the structure provides a lumen oriented along the longitudinal axis of the multi-layered implantation structure.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the lumen has a substantially circular cross-section.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the lumen has a diameter of about 0.2 mm to 30 mm and wherein the multi-layered implant has a diameter of about 1 mm to 30 mm.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the population of cells is selected from the group consisting of: a stem cell, an endothelial cell, a smooth muscle cell, a fibroblast, and a combination thereof.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the population of cells is a homogeneous population of cells.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the population of cells is a heterogeneous population of cells.

19. A method of forming a multi-layered implantation material having a spiral roll cross-section, comprising the steps of:

wrapping an amniotic membrane around itself to form a multi-layered structure having the spiral roll cross-section, wherein the multi-layered implant has two or more spiral layers; and

freeze drying the multi-layered structure.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the multi-layered implantation material has an inner edge, an outer edge, and a longitudinal axis along the length of the multi-layered implant.

21. The method of claim 19 , wherein the multi-layered structure has a plurality of holes.

22. The method of claim 19 , further comprising: cross-linking the multi-layered structure.

23. The method of claim 19 , further comprising: drilling a plurality of holes in the multi-layered structure.

24. The method of claim 19 , further comprising disposing a population of cells on said amniotic membrane before wrapping.

25. The method of claim 24 , further comprising decellularizing the amniotic membrane before disposing the population of cells on the amniotic membrane.

26. The method of claim 24 , wherein the lumen has a diameter of about 0.2 mm to 30 mm and wherein the multi-layered implant has a outside diameter of about 1 mm to 30 mm.

27. The method of claim 19 , further comprising decellularizing the amniotic membrane before wrapping.

28. The method of claim 19 , wherein each spiral layer has a thickness of about 45 μm to 2000 μm.

29. The method of claim 19 , wherein the multi-layered implantation material has a width along the longitudinal axis of about 0.01 mm to 1200 mm.

30. A method of forming a non-synthetic, multi-layered implantation tubular scaffold, the method comprising:

wrapping an amniotic membrane around itself to form a multi-layered implantation tubular scaffold having a spiral roll cross-section with two or more spiral layers;

optionally freeze drying the multi-layered implantation tubular scaffold; and

optionally culturing the multi-layered implantation tubular scaffold under conditions whereby the membrane is colonized by a populations of cells;

wherein the multi-layered implantation tubular scaffold does not comprise synthetic materials.
