摘要:
Transcutaneous devices are disclosed that self-provide cues for exact location of transcutaneous insertion sites, exit sites, and/or the track of the device between the sites, as are methods and kits for using the transcutaenous devices to mark the sites and track of the device and for removing location cues.
摘要:
Implantable medical devices, such as catheters, treated with a high concentration of gentian violet, and methods of preparing these medical devices are provided.
摘要:
In a medical device, an antimicrobial agent is combined with an elastomeric polymer material. The antimicrobial agent includes at least one chlorhexidine/fatty acid salt which is a neutralization product of chlorhexidine base and a fatty acid having between 12 and 18 carbon atoms.
摘要:
A medical device includes a base material and chlorhexidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof disposed in the base material sufficient to reduce microbial growth. The base material includes a polymer having a silicone monomer and a urethane monomer. To make the medical device having an antimicrobial agent, a silicone-urethane-carbonate polymer is dissolved in Dimethylformamide/Tetrahydrofuran (DMF/THF) to generate a coating solution, a chlorhexidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is mixed into the coating solution, a base material is coated with the coating solution, and the coating solution is dried to remove the solvent. The chlorhexidine is present in concentration sufficient to reduce microbial growth.

摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of using a multilayered fabric comprising a first absorbable nonwoven fabric and a second absorbable woven or knitted fabric in tissue repair and regeneration.
摘要:
A poly(trimethylene-ethylene ether) glycol is disclosed. The poly(trimethylene-ethylene ether) glycol is, preferably, prepared by the polycondensation of 1,3-propanediol reactant and ethylene glycol reactant. The composition is preferably used in breathable membranes, synthetic lubricants, hydraulic fluids, cutting oils, motor oils, surfactants, spin-finishes, water-borne coatings, laminates, adhesives, packaging, films and foams, fibers and fabrics.
摘要:
Vaso-occlusive devices are provided that have a polymer foam disposed about them. The polymer is treated with a plasma to facilitate thrombogenicity. A method for making and using such devices also is provided. The preferred polymer is a copolymer of a halogenated vinylidene and a halogenated alkene.
