Abstract:
The present invention relates to an implant comprising: a sheet of bacterial cellulose having a macro-pattern positioned on at least a portion thereof. The invention also relates to a method for making such an implant.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to implantable bioabsorbable medical devices having an amphiphilic coating for delaying the degradation of the device and methods of making such devices.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method of forming fibers. First and second precursors, each possessing a core and at least one functional group known to have click reactivity, are mixed. The mixed precursors are then extruded under heat to cross-link during fiber production.
Abstract:
Implants for tissue repair/regeneration include a porous layer combined with dry materials that are activated to form a hydrogel upon contact with aqueous physiological fluids.
Abstract:
Cross-linked fibers include first and second precursors, each possessing a core and at least one functional group known to have click reactivity when exposed to UV radiation. Mixtures of the first and second precursors are extruded to produce a filament and irradiated with UV light during the extrusion process.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to compounds and medical devices activated with a solvophobic material functionalized with a first reactive member and methods of making such compounds and devices.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides mono- and multi-layered implants which include at least one porous layer made from a freeze-dried aqueous solution containing chitosan, the solution having a pH of less than about 5.
Abstract:
Implantable medical devices include a substrate having applied thereto a coating including a polymeric material possessing a core and at least one functional group known to have click reactivity.
