Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems, apparatuses and methods for applying commercially available sutures or other wound repair devices to improve and/or accelerate healing. In an exemplified embodiment, provided are methods, apparatuses, and systems that enable intra-operative application of wound repair devices with biologic and/or pharmaceutical compositions to facilitate controlled delivery of bioactive molecules, resulting in improved musculoskeletal soft tissue repair and reconstruction. In a specific embodiment, a method including obtaining an isolated platelet rich plasma (PRP) sample, and applying the sample to a suture under conditions to provide a dry coat of PRP onto the suture is disclosed herein.

Claim (Index 19):
A method of coating a wound repair device with a composition, comprising:\n threading a wound repair device between a first set of guiding rollers comprising a first roller and a second roller, such that the first and second rollers contact a first side and a second side of the wound repair device, respectively, wherein the first roller comprises a first composition thereon, such that the first side of the wound repair device is coated with the first composition; guiding the wound repair device around a first guide roller, such that the second side of the wound repair device contacts the guide roller, allowing the first side of the wound repair device to dry; threading the wound repair device between a second set of coating rollers comprising a first roller and a second roller, such that the first roller and second roller contacts the first side and the second side of the wound repair device, respectively, wherein the second roller comprises a second composition thereon, such that the second side of the wound repair device is coated with the second composition as the wound repair device is threaded through the second set of coating rollers; and guiding the wound repair device around a second guide roller, such that the first side of the wound repair device contacts the guide roller, allowing the second side of the wound repair device to dry.
