Abstract:
1. A tissue graft comprising one or more biocompatible protein materials, combined with one or more biocompatible solvents, wherein the protein material(s) and biocompatible solvent(s) are formed into a cohesive solid body having a solvent content of about 20% to 80% prior to compression and not having the characteristics of cracking, shattering, breaking or being crosslinked so as to inhibit the cohesive solid body from remaining cohesive unto itself when being formed and the cohesive solid body is compressed at a pressure of about 100 psi to 100,000 psi to remove bulk biocompatible solvent and generate additional intermolecular and intramolecular forces between one or more of the protein material(s) and solvent(s) to form the tissue graft having a solvent content of about 10% to 60%, and wherein the tissue graft provides a scaffold for enhancing cellular remodeling by host tissue.
