摘要:
Textile vascular prostheses having a coating include an absorbable polymer in the form of a three-armed polyester having terminal hydroxyl groups from hydroxy acids polymerized onto a central trifunctional hydroxy compound, the three arms being tetrapolymers of lactide, ε-caprolactone, trimethylene carbonate and glycolide. The polymer is composed of about 30 to about 45 mol % of lactide, about 20 to about 40 mol % of ε-caprolactone, about 10 to about 28 mol % of trimethylene carbonate and about 10 to about 25 mol % of glycolide.
摘要:
High-purity, acetone-soluble, absorbable components of medical devices are designed for optimum interfacing with human blood or the cell lining of a body cavity, and are formed of a crystalline, segmented l-lactide polyaxial copolymer structurally tailored to have certain molecular dimensions, thermal and physicomechanical properties, and solubility characteristics to allow their uses, optimally, as parts of vascular, urological, and post-surgical adhesion prevention devices.

摘要:
Swellable, coated sutures have a swellable polymeric coating and a fibrous component, wherein the coating is formed of an absorbable or non-absorbable polymer, while the fibrous component is formed of a synthetic absorbable or non-absorbable monofilament yarn, synthetic absorbable or non-absorbable braided multifilament yarn, braided silk multifilament yarn or combinations thereof. In certain instances, the coating is used as a carrier for the controlled delivery of different types of bioactive agents, including those having antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anesthetic, tissue growth-promoting, and antineoplastic activities.
摘要:
This invention deals with a tissue protecting, spray-on film composition comprising an amphiphilic film-forming, segmented/block copolymer derived form at least one water-soluble monomer and at least another water-insoluble monomer, wherein the film can be formed from a water soluble organic solvent such as 2-propanol, acetone, and ethyl acetate. The film can contain a bioactive agent including those to have antimicrobial, anesthetic, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing activities.
摘要:
Absorbable and non-absorbable cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive/sealant formulations include at least one multipurpose carboxylic, acid-bearing C-succinylated polymeric rheology modifier capable of increasing the viscosity of the liquid formulation, while controlling the anionic polymerization of the cyanoacrylate monomers and increasing the compliance of the cured solid adhesive.
摘要:
A radiation and radiochemically sterilized, multi-component, fiber-reinforced composite, absorbable/disintegratable urinogenital stent, such as an endoureteral stent, with radiomodulated residence time in the biological site of 1 to 10 weeks depending on the high energy radiation dose used for sterilization.
摘要:
Self-setting, absorbable bioactive polycyanoacrylate-based composites include at least one inorganic phosphate salt or a combination of at least one inorganic phosphate salt and calcium silicate in a cyanoacrylate matrix. The composites can be reinforced with single- or multicomponent absorbable, warp-knitted mesh, thus producing a broad range of absorbable, bioactive biomaterials suitable for use not only as preferred absorbable alternatives to the commercial non-absorbable polymethyl methacrylate bone cements, but also for repairing or replacing cranial and maxillofacial bone defects and other complex defects through guided bone regeneration.
摘要:
Pharmacologically active, easy-to-deploy, biomechanically compatible, inflatable endovascular, drug-eluting stent are formed of a primary expandable polymeric or metallic construct, intimately mantled with a biomechanically compatible, polymeric microporous, microfibrous, compliant, stretchable fabric formed by direct electrospinning onto the outside surface of the primary construct using at least one polymer solution containing at least one active compound, selected from those expected to control key biological events leading to in-stent restenosis.
摘要:
Composite fibrous constructs are made of combinations of inorganic-organic hybrid monofilament or multifilament yarns containing at least 6 weight percent of inorganic micro-/nanoparticles and organic monofilament or multifilament yarn with typical examples of the hybrid yarn matrix made of absorbable or non-absorbable thermoplastic polymers and final constructs being in the form of knitted or woven meshes and braided ligatures intended to perform under specific mechanically, biologically, and/or radiologically related functions.
