Ah, yes, ahem, I definitely understood exactly what that patent is saying, but perhaps you could summarize it for all the other people who can’t parse a patent immediately?
- jaggederest 3y agoIt basically confirms the theory discussed in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36785816 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36785816 In layman's terms, they're using achilles or tail tendon from certain kangaroo species that have been carefully dissected to retain only non-immune-reactive tissue (or decellularized), and sticking it in people's knees and other ligament sites in the body because it's strong.

It essentially covers the usage of macropod (kangaroo, specifically, of an enumerated variety) tendon and ligaments in a grafting procedure using "undisclosed" materials for compatibility. It then enumerates specific elasticity parameters before giving a description of the problem (background). Basically, exactly what the topic article summarizes into layman.
