摘要:
Disclosed are methods for sterilizing cross-linked gelatin as well as to sterilized cross-linked gelatin. In particular, the methods of this invention employ E-beam sterilization techniques.
摘要:
Disclosed are compositions suitable for use in embolizing blood vessels which compositions comprise a polymer, a biocompatible solvent and a contrast agent. The polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyacrylonitrile, polyurethane, polyvinylacetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, nitrocellulose and copolymers of urethane/carbonate and copolymers of styrene/maleic acid.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for treating urinary incontinence in a mammal wherein a composition comprising a biocompatible polymer, a biocompatible solvent, and a contrast agent is delivered to the periurethral tissue of the mammal.
摘要:
Disclosed are novel syringes and catheters for delivering compositions which form solid masses in vivo. These syringes and catheters are particularly useful for delivering embolizing compositions intravascularly.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for the sterilization of a male mammal wherein a composition comprising a biocompatible polymer, a biocompatible solvent, and a contrast agent is delivered to the vas deferens of the male mammal.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for draping a surgical site prior to surgery. Specifically, the methods of this invention involve the in situ formation of a cyanoacrylate polymeric drape on the skin surface of a patient peripheral to the surgical site. Surgery is then conducted at the surgical site.
摘要:
Disclosed are cyanoacrylte compositions comprising a compatible antimicrobial agent and, in particular, a compatible iodine coning antimicrobial agent. These compositions provide for in situ formation of an antimicrobial polymeric cyanoacryate film on mammalian skin.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for draping a surgical incision site prior to surgery. Specifically, the methods of this invention involve the in situ formation of a biocompatible polymeric drape over the skin surface at the surgical incision site. An incision is then made through this surface and the surgery is then conducted through the incision.

Disclosed are methods for treating urinary incontinence in a mammal wherein a composition comprising a biocompatible polymer, a biocompatible solvent, and a contrast agent is delivered to the periurethral tissue of the mammal.
摘要:
A cyanoacrylate adhesive is applied onto skin area prone to exposure to discharge by patients suffering from incontinence so as to shield the skin from direct contact with the discharge. The adhesive can also be applied over medicament that has been applied onto skin surface and onto skin along the periphery of a stoma.
