摘要:
An oral care composition including a hydrophilic, aliphatic, polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethane, a glycol polymer, and a poly(N-vinyl lactam). These components form a tacky film having a thickness of about 1 mils to about 50 mils. A whitening agent, such as a peroxide, can be absorbed into the tacky film, and adapted to desorb from the tacky film to whiten teeth to which the film is joined. A method is also provided in which the components are extruded through a twin screw extruder and output to a die to produce the film. The whitening agent can be deposited on the film and absorbed by the film to form a relatively stable oral care composition including the whitening agent.

A device useful for administration of pharmacologically-active substances transdermally, orally, or by means of subdermal implant includes an impermeable backing layer, a plasticized polyvinyl chloride layer, and an adhesive layer, wherein the plasticized polyvinyl chloride layer includes from about 20 up to about 70% by weight of a polyvinyl chloride resin, from about 20 up to about 70% by weight of a plasticizer, and from about 0.5 up to about 35% by weight of a pharmacologically-active substance such as isosorbide dinitrate, nicotine, clonidine, guanfacine, indomethacin, nitroglycerin, and prostaglandin and optionally excipients.
摘要:
The present invention describes a pressure-sensitive hydrophilic laminate composite comprising contiguous layers of a tacky pressure sensitive hydrophilic polymer blend, and a non-tacky hydrophilic polymer blend. Numerous variations in individual layer formulations allow for a multitude of hydrophilic blend laminate composite structures, which are readily utilizable as wound dressings, and/or transdermal and topical delivery systems incorporating a wide range of bioactive agents. The hydrophilic laminate composite structurese are characterized by ease of application, adhesiveness to skin, high tensile strength, mechanical integrity, transparency, fluid absorbency, and highly effective bacterial barrier properties, and permeability to water vapor, oxygen and drugs and/or bioactive agents. In the preferred embodiments, they are further characterized in their ability to inhibit severe maceration of the wound as well as underlying tissue destruction upon removal.
摘要:
Polymer blends capable of forming hydrogels upon immersion in water are bonded by heat and pressure alone to water-resistant polymer compositions compatible with vinyl lactam polymers to form laminates. Bonding can also be achieved by casting on the surface of the polymer composition a solution of the blend in a solvent inert to the polymer composition and evaporating the solvent. The blends are optically clear blends of vinyl lactam polymers or copolymers with water insoluble copolymers of a hydrophobic water-insoluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer, an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing an acid group, and optionally a hydrophilic ethylenically unsaturated monomer free from acidic groups.
摘要:
A non-tacky thermoplastic elastomeric composition which is an optically clear blend of (A) a copolymer of ethyl or butyl acrylate or mixtures thereof with from 2 to 10% by weight of a copolymerizable ethylenic monomer containing an acid group and (B) from 2 to 15%, by weight of the blend, of a water-soluble homopolymer of a vinyl lactam having the structure ##STR1## in which X represents an alkylene bridge having three to five carbon atoms, or from 2 to 30%, by weight of the blend, of a copolymer of said lactam with from 1 to 80 mole percent of a copolymerizable monomer containing a polymerizable ethylenic unsaturation, the vinyl lactam polymer or copolymer having a glass transistion temperature from 20.degree. to 250.degree. C.
摘要:
A composition capable of absorbing more than 45% of its weight of water without dissolution at room temperature to form a hydrogel is made by blending (1) 40 to 98% by weight of water-soluble polymer of a vinyl lactam having the structure ##STR1## in which X represents an alkylene bridge having three to five carbon atoms or a copolymer thereof with 1 to 90 mole percent of a copolymerizable monomer containing a polymerizable ethylenic unsaturation; and (2) 2 to 60% by weight of a water-insoluble copolymer formed of 50% to 90% by weight based on the total copolymer of a hydrophobic water-insoluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer, 2 to 12% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing an acid group, and 0 to 50% by weight of a hydrophilic ethylenically unsaturated monomer free from acidic groups.

The delivery system includes a matrix for releasing the drug into the oral cavity at a sustained rate and a means for securing the matrix to the palate or other adequate regions in the oral cavity.
摘要:
Described is an article for the controlled release and delivery to animal tissue of a pharmacologically active agent with or without an excipient and/or enhances which may be a causative factor in the occurrence of non-allergic or allergic contact dermatitis comprising an anti-dermatitis substance.
摘要:
Described is an article of manufacture useful for administration of pharmacologically-active substances, transdermally, orally or by means of subdermal implant comprising a solid vinyl plastisol layer for contacting a patient's tissue, internally or externally, the layer containing from about 20 up to about 70% by weight of a polyvinyl chloride resin or a polyvinyl chloride-polyvinyl acetate copolymer containing a minor proportion of vinyl acetate; from about 20-70% plasticizer composition; from about 0.5 up to 35% of a pharmacologically-active substance such as isosorbide dinitrate, nicotine, clonidine, guanfacine, indomethacin, glyceryl trinitrate and prostaglandin and optionally excipients. Also described is the novel plasticizer-polyvinyl chloride composition of matter comprising 1-dodecylhexahydro-2H-azepin-2-one and polyvinyl chloride resin taken together with a pharmacologically-active substance wherein the 1-dodecylhexahydro-2H-azepin-2-one not only acts as a plasticizer but also acts as a penetration enhancer (through tissue) for the pharmacologically-active substance.
