摘要:
A gripper member comprises an openable and closable pair of handles interconnected by a hinge member. Each handle defines, adjacent its hinge member, an arcuate recess positioned to face the corresponding recess of the other handle and defining gripping projections therein. A wall member is positioned longitudinally on each handle to cross each arcuate recess, both wall members being positioned at the same side of their respective recesses. Accordingly, a plastic tube may be surrounded and gripped in the arcuate recesses of the handles for rotational retention thereof as a connector member is inserted into or withdrawn from the tube. At the same time, the wall members pinch the tube into closed, sealed relation with the handles in closed position.

Disclosed are novel syringes and catheters for delivering compositions which form solid masses in vivo. These syringes and catheters are particularly useful for delivering embolizing compositions intravascularly.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for soft tissue augmentation in a mammal wherein a composition comprising a biocompatible polymer having a water equilibrium content of less than about 15% and a biocompatible solvent is delivered to the tissue of the mammal to be augmented.
摘要:
Alkyl cyanoacrylate compositions comprising at least one alkyl cyanoacrylate, a biocompatible plasticizer (preferably an acyl trialkyl citrate wherein the acyl group contains from 2 to 4 carbon atoms and each alkyl group contains from 4 to 6 carbon atoms), and SO2 as an anionic polymerization inhibitor are provided. These compositions are suitable for topical application to human skin.
摘要:
Disclosed are novel compositions for embolizing blood vessels which are particularly suited for treating vascular lesions via catheter delivery. In one embodiment, the compositions of this invention comprise a biocompatible polymer, ethyl lactate solvent and a biocompatible contrast agent.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for the application of a cyanoacrylate/anti-microbial composition over mammalian skin surfaces to peri-wound and peri-mucosal areas. The composition can also be applied over medicament that has been applied onto the skin surface.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for draping a surgical incision site prior to surgery. Specifically, the methods of this invention involve the in situ formation of a cyanoacrylate polymeric drape over the skin surface at the surgical incision site. An incision is then made through this surface and the surgery is then conducted through the incision.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for inhibiting late radiation-induced skin damage during treatment of a patient with ionizing radiation by application of a layer of biocompatible polymer to the skin surface prior to exposure of the surface to ionizing radiation.
