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:
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:
Bioactive liquid formulations are formed of combinations of absorbable, segmented aliphatic polyurethane compositions and liquid polyether for use as vehicles for the controlled release of at least one active agent for the conventional and unconventional treatment of different forms of cancer and the management of at least one type of bacterial, fungal, and viral infection.
摘要:
Hydroswellable, absorbable and non-absorbable, aliphatic, segmented polyurethanes and polyurethane-urea capable of swelling in the biological environment with associated increase in volume of at least 3 percent have more than one type of segments, including those derived from polyethylene glycol and the molecular chains are structurally tailored to allow the use of corresponding formulations and medical devices as carriers for bioactive agents, rheological modifiers of cyanoacrylate-based tissue adhesives, as protective devices for repairing defective or diseased components of articulating joints and their cartilage, and scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering.

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:
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:
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.
