摘要:
Biocompatible compositions are provided which may include at least one polysaccharide, at least one salt, and at least one reactive component. The at least one polysaccharide, at least one salt, and at least one reactive component may be in a single solution or multiple solutions and combined utilizing means within the purview of those skilled in the art. The compositions of the present disclosure experience delayed gelatin, permitting their manipulation after application to tissue, which may be desirable for certain surgical and/or medical procedures, including cosmetic surgery.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a filament for use in surgical procedures. The filament includes a first end with a first tangible indicator and a second end with a second, different tangible indicator. The first and second tangible indicators attribute different surface topographies to the respective first and second ends of the filament to provide a way of differentiating therebetween through tactile engagement.
摘要:
Biocompatible implants include a polymer substrate and a reactive component selectively applied to the substrate. The reactive component in combination with the substrate creates crosslinked regions on a surface of the substrate. The crosslinked regions may provide a visual aid and/or stiffening element to the implant.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides coatings for filaments that enhance the resistance of a filament to cuts and/or abrasions. Depending upon the material utilized to form the filament to be coated, the appropriate coating in the appropriate amount may be selected to coat the filament thereby imparting resistance to abrasions and cuts to the filament. The resulting filament may be utilized to form filamentous devices including sutures and meshes.

摘要:
Methods for producing biocompatible compositions are provided. The biocompatible compositions include an isocyanate-functional polyurethane prepolymer in combination with a foam control agent. The foam control agent decreases the formation of bubbles and/or foam in the biocompatible composition, thereby enhancing the physical properties of the biocompatible composition. The presence of the foam control agent does not compromise the strength of the biocompatible composition. The compositions prepared by the methods of the present disclosure may be used as adhesives or sealants for medical/surgical uses.
