1. A fenestrated wound repair scaffold comprising human collagen or human collagen products, said fenestrated wound repair scaffold comprising:
- a first plurality of transverse channels each extending parallel to one another across a width of the scaffold oriented in a first direction and defining at least one opening in the scaffold to provide for movement of biological materials therethrough and into the scaffold, anda second plurality of transverse channels each extending parallel to one another across a length of the scaffold oriented in a second direction generally perpendicular to the first plurality of transverse channels and defining at least one opening in the scaffold to provide for movement of biological materials therethrough and into the scaffold and the fenestrated wound repair scaffold comprises a series of embossed surface channels arranged along a length and a width of a top surface and a bottom surface of the fenestrated wound repair scaffold forming a matrix of intersecting embossed surface channels, wherein an axial channel extends between an embossed top surface channel intersection point and an embossed bottom surface channel intersection point.

Abstract
Fenestrated wound repair scaffolds and methods for forming scaffolds involve dispersing human collagen having a preserved amount of native constituents in solution, depositing the human collagen dispersion in a tray, forming openings in the collagen dispersion and removing the liquid component to form a fenestrated wound repair scaffold. Fenestrated wound repair scaffolds include a network of openings passing linearly through the wound repair scaffold to form channels for cells to pass into so as to form a series of cell formations therein.

9. A fenestrated wound repair scaffold comprising enzymatically-treated human-derived collagen having a preserved amount of its natural collagen constituents, wherein the fenestrated wound repair scaffold comprises:
-
a first plurality of transverse channels each extending parallel to one another across a width of the scaffold oriented in a first direction and defining at least one opening in the scaffold, and a second plurality of transverse channels each extending parallel to one another across a length of the scaffold oriented in a second direction generally perpendicular to the first plurality of transverse channels and defining at least one opening in the scaffold; wherein the openings of the first and second plurality of transverse channels define a network of openings passing generally linearly through the wound repair scaffold promoting the formation of a series of cell formations within the fenestrated wound repair scaffold and the fenestrated wound repair scaffold comprises a series of embossed surface channels arranged along a length and a width of a top surface and a bottom surface of the fenestrated wound repair scaffold forming a matrix of intersecting embossed surface channels, wherein an axial channel extends between an embossed top surface channel intersection point and an embossed bottom surface channel intersection point. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A wound repair scaffold comprising:
-
enzymatically-treated human derived collagen having a macroporous architecture with a nanofibrous collagen micro structure favorable for cell growth and supporting the growth of blood vessels into the scaffold, a first plurality of transverse channels each extending parallel to one another across a width of the scaffold oriented in a first direction and defining at least one opening in the scaffold, and a second plurality of transverse channels each extending parallel to one another across a length of the scaffold oriented in a second direction generally perpendicular to the first plurality of transverse channels and defining at least one opening in the scaffold and the fenestrated wound repair scaffold comprises a series of embossed surface channels arranged along a length and a width of a top surface and a bottom surface of the fenestrated wound repair scaffold forming a matrix of intersecting embossed surface channels, wherein an axial channel extends between an embossed top surface channel intersection point and an embossed bottom surface channel intersection point. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
