摘要:
A self-supporting polymeric diffusion matrix provides for the sustained release of propranolol in order to deliver said propranolol to a patient. The matrix comprises from about 1 to about 60% by weight of a polar plasticizer, from about 5 to about 20% by weight polyvinylalcohol having a molecular weight from about 50,000 to about 150,000, from about 10 to about 25% by weight polyvinylalcohol having a molecular weight from about 4,000 to about 15,000, from about 2 to about 30% by weight polyvinylpyrrolidone, and a pharmaceutically effective amount of the propanolol to provide a sustained release of said propranolol over a prolonged period.

A shaped mass resorbable in the body, comprises collagen and a bioresorbable binding agent for collagen, the binding agent being selected, e.g., from polymers of C.sub.2-16 .alpha.-hydroxyalkanoic acids, polymers of natural amino acids, hydrolyzed collagen or hydrolyzed elastin.
摘要:
The present invention provides a trans-dermal delivery pad for nitroglycerin administration, specifically a microsealed, trans-dermal nitroglycerin pad having a backing which is impervious to nitroglycerin absorption and transport and a silicon matrix affixed thereto, said silicone polymer matrix being of cross-linked silicone rubber having from about 10 to 200 micron microsealed compartments being formed by in situ cross-linking of the silicone rubber after it is mixed with a hydrophilic solvent system containing the nitroglycerin and a hydrophobic solvent which enhances nitroglycerin dispersion and transport.
摘要:
A composition and a process for making the same is provided wherein a chemical and storage stable pressure-sensitive adhesive has homogeneously dispersed therein a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. When the composition is placed in contact with the skin, it uniformly and controllably releases the broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent with substantially unaltered broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.

Antibiotics can be effectively administered to wounds over long time periods by a wound dressing which comprises at least two layers of synthetic resin arranged one above the other and an intermediate layer composed of a synthetic resin granulate (particle size: 0.5-3mm) having an antibiotic incorporated therein.

Polymeric sheets having on one or both sides a fabric texture and a network of elongated channels in the interior of the structural framework of the sheet. In one embodiment, the sheets comprise a plurality of interbonded continuous polymeric ribs extending in a direction parallel to the plane of the sheet. The ribs impart a fabric texture to both sides of the sheet and define between them recessed portions on each surface of the sheet. The elongated channels extend throughout the ribs. The open area between the ribs can vary from zero to 60%. In another embodiment, the sheets have an ultra-thin, pinhole-free silicone rubber membrane on one side and a fabric texture on the other side. The sheets are useful as burn coverings where they serve as synthetic temporary replacements for damaged or missing skin. The sheets have physiologic properties similar to human skin, excellent drapability characteristics, recessed portions which provide a reservoir for wound debris and, in certain embodiments, a dermal surface which permits wound adherence by fibroblastic ingrowth.

THE INVENTION COMPRISES A LAMINATED DRESSING FOR A WOUND COMRPRISING A PRIMARY LAYER WICH IS READILY SOLUBLE IN PLASMA AND A SECONDARY LAYER IN FACE ADHERING CONTACT WITH THE PRIMARY LAYER, ALSO SOLUBLE IN PLASMA BUT TO A LESSER EXTENT THAN THE PRIMARY LAYER.
摘要:
Periodontal disease can be treated by the administration of metal ions, preferably silver ions, to the site where the microorganisms that cause this disease reside. Administration can be to periodontal pockets or adjacent to exposed tooth roots or alveolar bone during periodontal surgical procedures. The metal ions can be administered in polymeric microparticles, deformable films or microparticles embedded within deformable films. The metal ions are particularly microbiocidal to the bacterial pathogens that are the causative agents of periodontal disease.
