Abstract:
The invention relates to oligofluorinated coatings and their use in drag delivery. The oligofluorinated coatings are compositions comprising formula (XVII). These coatings are used in a method of delivering a biologically active agent to a tissue surface in a mammalian tissue. This method occurs by contacting the surface with the coating including an oligofluorinated oligomer and a biologically active agent wherein the coating resides on the tissue surface and release the biologically active agent to the tissue surface.
Abstract:
The invention relates to extracorporeal blood circuits, and components thereof (e.g., hollow fiber membranes, potted bundles, and blood tubing), including 0.005% to 10% (w/w) surface modifying macromolecule. The extracorporeal blood circuits have an antithrombogenic surface and can be used in hemofiltration, hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration, hemoconcentration, blood oxygenation, and related uses.
Abstract:
The invention relates to admixtures of thermoplastic polyurethane base polymers that resist surface dulling and fluorinated additives and their use in the manufacture of articles, such as medical devices. For example, the admixtures of the invention are useful in the manufacture of blood dwelling medical devices, such as catheters.
Abstract:
The invention relates to surface modifying macromolecules (SMMs) having high degradation temperatures and their use in the manufacture of articles made from base polymers which require high temperature processing. The surface modifier is admixed with the base polymer to impart alcohol and water repellency properties.
