Abstract:
1. A method of modulating the rate of tissue repair at an anatomical site in a patient in need of repair or restoration, the method comprising: administering to a patient at the anatomical site an implant comprising at least one extracellular matrix material comprising, a first plurality of bioresorbable particles comprising a native extracellular matrix comprising an epithelial basement membrane and tunica propria and a plurality of other naturally associated native extracellular matrix components and having a first density, and a second plurality of bioresorbable particles comprising an extracellular matrix having a second density that is at least 150% of the first density, wherein the second plurality of bioresorbable particles are resorbed by the patient's tissue at a slower rate than the absorption of the first plurality of bioresorbable particles; and administering said implant at the anatomical site of the mammalian patient.
