Summarize patent details on otolaryngology-based products.

Patent details Title and Description References
EP 3 270 821 B1 (2018) Artificial tympanic membrane devices : The invention is for a biocompatible artificial tympanic membrane device constructed of polyglycolic acid (PGA) or polylactic acid (PLA). The tympanic membrane of a patient can be fixed, replaced, or patched using these artificial tympanic membrane grafts as implants. Interlocking bilayer grafts can also be utilized to fill tympanic membrane perforations Skylar-Scott Mark et al. (2020)
US20230021383A1 (2023) Spatiotemporal delivery system embedded in 3D printing : A 3D printing system and associated compositions, as well as a method of employing such, are provided herein, which can manufacture a polymeric microfiber with embedded microspheres encapsulating an active agent with micron accuracy and high spatial and temporal resolution Lee Chang (2023)
US20230010971A1 (2023) Scaffold For Nasal Tissue Engineering : A tissue scaffold component comprised of a biocompatible polymeric material with a plurality of open voids structured to enable cell development is included in a nasal tissue implant for the reconstruction and tissue engineering of nasal tissue in an individual. By employing additive manufacturing to fabricate the scaffold, it is possible to make implants that match the anatomy of each patient. This ensures that the scaffold fits securely and does not trigger distress to the patient Zopf and Hollister Scott (2023)
US20060224242A1 (2006) Craniofacial implant : The invention describes a craniofacial implant comprised of biocompatible materials like titanium. The implant is meant to be customized to the anatomy of every individual patient and can be utilized for treating a range of craniofacial abnormalities Swords and Noble Aaron (2006)
US10639175B2 (2016) Porous bidirectional bellowed tracheal reconstruction device : An acellularized tissue matrix and one or more support structures form a part of the structure that fits the patient’s deficient passageway in implantable splinting devices for supporting passageway defects. Several pores are also present in the structural component. The implanted splinting device can be fitted around a patient’s trachea, esophagus, bronchi, and blood vessels. The implanted splinting device can also be designed for implantation between a patient’s esophagus and trachea Hollister Scott and Green Glenn (2020)
