摘要:
In a medical device, an antimicrobial agent is combined with an elastomeric polymer material. The antimicrobial agent includes at least one chlorhexidine/fatty acid salt which is a neutralization product of chlorhexidine base and a fatty acid having between 12 and 18 carbon atoms.

The present invention is directed to medical devices and pharmaceutical compositions containing a synthetic, bioabsorbable, biocompatible liquid polymer that is the reaction product of a polybasic acid or derivative thereof, a polyol and a fatty acid, the liquid polymer having a melting point less than about 40° C., as determined by differential scanning calorimetry.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for systemically or locally administering a beneficial agent to a subject are described, and include, for example, implantable elastomeric depot compositions that can be injected into a desired location and which can provide controlled release of a beneficial agent over a prolonged duration of time. The compositions include a biocompatible, elastomeric caprolactone copolymer, a biocompatible solvent having low water miscibility that forms an elastomeric viscous gel with the polymer and limits water uptake by the implant, and a beneficial agent.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to an implantable immune modulation device that is useful for modulating an immune response in mammals, comprising a plurality of fibers, within a porous shell. The fiber filling is loaded with single or multiple antigens, and optionally one or more biologically active compounds such as cytokines (e.g. lymphokines, chemokines etc.), attachment factors, genes, peptides, proteins, nucleotides, carbohydrates or cells depending on the application.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to medical devices, pharmaceutical or agricultural compositions, and seeds, each containing a synthetic, bioabsorbable, biocompatible polymeric wax that is the reaction product of a polybasic acid or derivative thereof, a polyol and a fatty acid, the polymeric wax having a melting point less than about 70° C., as determined by differential scanning calorimetry.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a multi-layered, physiologically tolerated oral dosage form for pharmaceutically active compounds. The dosage form comprises a central core, a middle layer, and an outer shell, at least one of which includes at least one pharmaceutically active substance. By varying the diameter of the core, a different middle layer volume is obtained within a fixed outer shell dimension. This gives the ability to obtain different dosage strengths for one composition without the need of reformulation work. The oral dosage form is produced in a single-step, continuous process by coating the core with the middle layer and the outer shell.

Implantable catheters are provided which comprise an antimicrobial agent incorporated in a coating or bulk distributed, in combination with a fibrinolytic agent incorporated in a top coating.
摘要:
A catheter lock composition for preventing bacterial infection having an effective amount of glycerol and sodium chloride solution. The effective amount of glycerol is between about 35-60% and sodium chloride is in a concentration range between 0.5-0.9%. The composition further includes an anticoagulant and/or an antimicrobial agent.
