First Claim
Patent Images
1. A morselized foam treatment of a wound, the morselized foam comprising biocompatible, biodegradable polymer wherein granulation tissue overgrowth of the morselized foam at about 7 days of contact with the wound is greater than the amount of granulation tissue overgrowth for an identical non-morselized foam.

13. A morselized foam comprising a biocompatible, biodegradable elastomeric copolymer of poly(epsilon-caprolactone-co-glycolide), the copolymer having a mole ratio of epsilon-caprolactone to glycolide of 35/65;
wherein the morselized foam has a porosity of greater than 90 percent by volume, a thickness of about 0.25 mm to about 0.75 mm, a width of about 1 mm to about 4 mm, and a length of about 1 mm to about 4 mm.

16. A method of tissue repair and/or regeneration, the method comprising:
contacting a wound of a subject with morselized foam comprising biocompatible, biodegradable polymer wherein granulation tissue overgrowth of the morselized foam at about 7 days of contact with the wound is greater than the amount of granulation tissue overgrowth for an identical non-morselized foam. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
