A kit comprising a tissue dressing material for being applied in contact with the tissue of a patient and a detachment solvent for removing the tissue dressing material from the tissue. A method of treating a tissue of a patient, the method comprising the steps of: applying a water-soluble tissue dressing material in contact with the patient's tissue; and applying an acidic detachment solvent to the tissue dressing material for removing the tissue dressing material from the tissue. A method of treating a tissue of a patient, the method comprising the steps of: applying a liquid tissue dressing material in contact with the patient's tissue; and applying a detachment solvent to the tissue dressing material for removing the tissue dressing material from the tissue. A method of treating a tissue of a patient, the method comprising the steps of: applying a water-soluble tissue dressing material in contact with the patient's tissue; and allowing the water-soluble tissue dressing material to convert into a form in which it is insoluble in water at neutral pH. And a solid material comprising a polymer salt and glycerol, the glycerol content being at least 10% of the polymer salt content by weight, for use in a method of treating a human or animal tissue.

A tissue sealant for use in surgical and medical procedures for sealing the tissues of a living mammal is provided. The tissue sealant comprises a hydrogel which is formed by gelation of a premix disposed on the tissue to be sealed. The premix comprises alkylated chitosan or a gelatin, and a polybasic carboxylic acid or an oxidized polysaccharide, in an aqueous medium. The premix can also include a dehydrating reagent, a carboxyl activating reagent, or both. A specific use of the tissue sealant is in the repair of the dura mater after brain surgery to prevent leakage of cerebrospinal fluid. The tissue sealant may include a therapeutic or protective agent such as an antibiotic or an anti-inflammatory drug.
摘要:
The present invention generally relates to implants and, in particular, to systems and methods for monitoring the condition of an implant within a subject. In some embodiments, an implant may be prepared that contains a tracer. After implantation, the tracer from the implant may be determined within a subject using any suitable method, depending on the tracer. As an example, the tracer may be determined by administering an indicator able to interact with the tracer to the subject. For instance, the indicator may be applied to the skin of the subject, and the indicator may give a different visual appearance based on the tracer, or otherwise exhibits a determinable change in a property of the indicator. Other aspects of the invention are generally directed to methods of making or using implants, methods of promoting the making or use of such implants, kits involving such implants, or the like.
摘要:
Matrices formed from a natural biodegradable material and that exhibit surface degradation in the presence of an enzyme are described. Matrices including a bioactive agent can be implanted or formed in a subject for release of the bioactive agent upon degradation of the matrix. The matrix can be provided in various forms, including coatings for implantable devices, implants, and in-situ formed matrices. The matrix can also be in the form of a medical device having a structure that is used to treat a medical condition.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a device (2) for sealing a puncture extending through tissue, comprising a carrier (4) in a predetermined shape, further characterized by a first hydrogel precursor (6) disposed at least partially on an exterior surface of the carrier; a second hydrogel precursor (7) disposed on the exterior surface of the carrier, the first and second precursors remaining in an unreactive state on the carrier prior to exposure to an aqueous physiological environment, whereupon the first and second precursors react to form a hydrogel.
