摘要:
Crosslinked polymer compositions comprise a first synthetic polymer containing multiple nucleophilic groups covalently bound to a second synthetic polymer containing multiple electrophilic groups. The first synthetic polymer is preferably a synthetic polypeptide or a polyethylene glycol that has been modified to contain multiple nucleophilic groups, such as primary amino (—NH2)or thiol (—SH) groups. The second synthetic polymer may be a hydrophilic or hydrophobic synthetic polymer which contains, or has been derivatized to contain, two or more electrophilic groups, such as succinimidyl groups. The compositions may further comprise other components, such as naturally occurring polysaccharides or proteins (such as glycosaminoglycans or collagen) and/or biologically active agents. Also disclosed are methods for using the crosslinked polymmer compositions to effect adhesion between a first surface and a second surface; to effect tissue augmentation; to prevent the formation of surgical adhesions; and to coat a surface of a synthetic implant.

The present invention relates to thrombin-containing hemostatic compositions, their preparation and use. In particular, it relates to hemostatic compositions comprising stabilized thrombin and microfibrillar collagen in an aqueous medium. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the compositions are used in a kit comprising two different components, one of which is autologous patient's plasma as the source of fibrinogen, and the other of which is the thrombin-containing composition which also contains microfibrillar collagen having an average diameter of about 3-30 nanometers.

摘要:
Crosslinkable compositions are provided that readily crosslink in situ to provide biocompatible, nonimmunogenic crosslinked biomaterials. The compositions contain at least three biocompatible, nonimmunogenic components having reactive functional groups thereon, with the functional groups selected so as to enable inter-reaction between the components, i.e., crosslinking. In a preferred embodiment, a first component is polynucleophilic, a second component is polyelectrophilic, and at least one third component contains one or more functional groups reactive with the nucleophilic moieties one the first or second component. At least one of the components is a polyfunctional hydrophilic polymer; the other components may also comprise hydrophilic polymers, or they may be low molecular weight, typically hydrophobic, crosslinkers. Methods for preparing and using the compositions are also provided. Exemplary uses include tissue augmentation, biologically active agent delivery, bioadhesion, and prevention of adhesions following surgery or injury.
