Abstract
The present invention is directed to an intermediate composition for producing a muscle tissue matrix suitable for implantation in humans, comprising shredded, allogeneic human muscle tissue that has been combined with an aqueous carrier, preferably a biocompatible acid solution, to form a muscle tissue slurry having a viscosity within the range of 1 centistoke to 20,000 centistokes measured at 25° C. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a tissue implant comprising a human muscle tissue matrix.
