    摘要: The present invention relates to phase separated polymeric regions and to their use in conjunction with implantable or insertable medical devices. In some aspects of the invention, phase separated polymeric regions are provided that include (a) at least one biostable polymeric phase and (b) at least one biodisintegrable polymeric phase, which is of nanoscale dimensions and which undergoes biodisintegration such that the phase separated polymeric region becomes a nanoporous polymeric region in vivo. Other aspects of the invention are directed to methods of making implantable or insertable medical devices having at least one nanoporous polymeric region. These methods include (a) providing a phase separated polymeric region comprising a stable polymeric phase and a disintegrable polymeric phase of nanoscale dimensions, (b) selectively removing the disintegrable polymeric phase thereby producing the nanoporous polymeric region. In still other aspects, implantable or insertable medical devices are provided which have phase separated polymeric regions that include (a) at least one block copolymer having at least one biostable polymer block and at least one biodisintegrable polymer block and (b) at least one therapeutic agent which is released in vivo upon implantation or insertion of the medical device.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a resorbable polymeric mesh implant, that is intended to be used in the reconstruction of soft tissue defects. The mesh implant comprises at least a first and a second material, wherein the second material is substantially degraded at a later point in time than the first material following the time of implantation. The mesh implant is adapted to have a predetermined modulus of elasticity that gradually is decreased until the mesh implant is completely degraded and subsequently resorbed. Due to the gradual decrease in the modulus of elasticity of the inventive mesh implant, the regenerating tissue may gradually take over the load applied to the tissue defect area.

    摘要: A drug-free biodegradable 3D porous collagen-glycosaminoglycan scaffold is designed for preventing scar formation and creating a physiological aqua buffer environment around the conjuctival space for glaucoma. The scaffold improves the re-modeling of the regenerating tissue and prevents scar formation and further infection. It is prepared without further chemical linkage, and consequently becomes softer and without the uncertainty of chemical remnants after implantation. In addition, the scaffold can be cut preferably in a form upon request before being saturated by a physiological buffer for implantation.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a composite and a method for reducing post-operative adhesion of tissues. The composite includes a biocompatible, biodegradable support, and a water-insoluble hyaluronic acid derivative at the support. The hyaluronic acid derivative includes an N-acylurea that results from cross-linking by the reaction of hyaluronic acid with a multifunctional carbodiimide. Optionally, a monocarbodiimide also may be employed. A pharmaceutically-active molecule may be added to the N-acylurea derivative of hyaluronic acid. Although the composite includes material that prevents adhesion between tissues, in order to reduce the need for suturing when the composite is being used during a surgical procedure, a material that enhances adhesion of the composite to tissues may be applied to a surface of the composite. A method of forming the composite for reducing post-operative adhesion of tissues, including the step of applying an N-acylurea derivative of hyaluronic acid resulting from cross-linking with a multifunctional carbodiimide, to a biocompatible, biodegradable support; a method of preparing a drug delivery vehicle that includes a pharmaceutically-active molecule with the N-acylurea derivative of hyaluronic acid resulting from cross-linking with a multifunctional carbodiimide; and a method of reducing post-operative adhesion of tissues are disclosed.
