| 20120094955 | METHOD OF DISSOLVING AN OXIDIZED POLYSACCHARIDE IN AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION - A method of dissolving an oxidized polysaccharide in an aqueous solution using an oligomer additive is described. The resulting aqueous solution of the oxidized polysaccharide may be used in combination with an aqueous solution comprising an amine-containing component to prepare hydrogel tissue adhesives and sealants for medical and veterinary applications, such as wound closure, supplementing or replacing sutures or staples in internal surgical procedures such as intestinal anastomosis and vascular anastomosis, tissue repair, ophthalmic procedures, drug delivery, and to prevent post-surgical adhesions. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120035129 | HYDROGEL TISSUE ADHESIVE HAVING REDUCED DEGRADATION TIME - A hydrogel tissue adhesive having decreased degradation time is described. The hydrogel tissue adhesive is formed by reacting an oxidized polysaccharide with a water-dispersible, multi-arm polyether amine in the presence of an oligomer additive, which promotes the degradation of the hydrogel. The hydrogel may be useful as a tissue adhesive or sealant for medical applications, such as a hemostat sealant or to prevent undesired tissue-to-tissue adhesions resulting from trauma or surgery. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20120029149 | POLYGLYCEROL ALDEHYDES - Novel polyglycerol aldehyde polymers are described. The polymers comprise glycerol monomers connected by ether linkages and have 3 to about 170 aldehyde groups per molecule. The polyglycerol aldehydes may be reacted with various amine-containing polymers to form hydrogel tissue adhesives and sealants that may be useful for medical applications such as wound closure, supplementing or replacing sutures or staples in internal surgical procedures such as intestinal anastomosis and vascular anastomosis, tissue repair, preventing leakage of fluids such as blood, bile, gastrointestinal fluid and cerebrospinal fluid, ophthalmic procedures, drug delivery, and preventing post-surgical adhesions. | 02-02-2012 |
| 20120014909 | TISSUE ADHESIVE AND SEALANT COMPRISING POLYGLYCEROL ALDEHYDE - A tissue adhesives and sealant formed by reacting a polyglycerol aldehyde with a water-dispersible, multi-arm amine is described. The tissue adhesive and sealant may be useful for medical and veterinary applications, including, but not limited to, wound closure, supplementing or replacing sutures or staples in internal surgical procedures such as intestinal anastomosis and vascular anastomosis, tissue repair, preventing leakage of fluids such as blood, bile, gastrointestinal fluid and cerebrospinal fluid, ophthalmic procedures, drug delivery, and to prevent post-surgical adhesions. | 01-19-2012 |
