| 20110150961 | ANTI-INFECTIVE CATHETERS - Anti-infective catheters are provided. Such catheters comprise a composition that comprises a pyrimidine analog, polyurethane, and cellulose or a cellulose-derived polymer, for example, in form of a coating. In addition, anti-infective compositions and methods of making and using anti-infective catheters are provided. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110129513 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR COATING MEDICAL IMPLANTS - Medical implants are provided which release an anthracycline, fluoropyrimidine, folic acid antagonist, podophylotoxin, camptothecin, hydroxyurea, and/or platinum complex, thereby inhibiting or reducing the incidence of infection associated with the implant. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20100268288 | ELECTRICAL DEVICES AND ANTI-SCARRING AGENTS - Electrical devices (e.g., cardiac rhythm management and neurostimulation devices) for contact with tissue are used in combination with an anti-scarring agent (e.g., a cell cycle inhibitor) in order to inhibit scarring that may otherwise occur when the devices are implanted within an animal. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100222863 | SILK STENT GRAFTS - Silk-containing stent grafts are provided comprising an endoluminal stent and a graft, wherein the silk induces the in vivo adhesion of the stent graft to vessel walls, or, otherwise induces or accelerates an in vivo fibrotic reaction causing said stent graft to adhere to vessel wall. Also provided are methods for making and using such stent grafts. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100174356 | STENT GRAFTS WITH BIOACTIVE COATINGS - Stent grafts are provided comprising an endoluminal stent and a graft, wherein the stent graft releases an agent which induces the in vivo adhesion of the stent graft to vessel walls, or, otherwise induces or accelerates an in vivo fibrotic reaction causing said stent graft to adhere to vessel wall. Also provided are methods for making and using such stent grafts. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100092536 | IMPLANTABLE SENSORS AND IMPLANTABLE PUMPS AND ANTI-SCARRING AGENTS - Pumps and sensors for contact with tissue are used in combination with an anti-scarring agent (e.g., a cell cycle inhibitor) in order to inhibit scarring that may otherwise occur when the pumps and sensors are implanted within an animal. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100082003 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR COATING MEDICAL IMPLANTS - Medical implants are provided which release an anthracycline, fluoropyrimidine, folic acid antagonist, podophylotoxin, camptothecin, hydroxyurea, and/or platinum complex, thereby inhibiting or reducing the incidence of infection associated with the implant. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20090280153 | TEXT NOT AVAILABLE - Electrical devices (e.g., cardiac rhythm management and neurostimulation devices) for contact with tissue are used in combination with an anti-scarring agent in order to inhibit scarring that may otherwise occur when the devices are implanted within an animal. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090220604 | AMINO ACIDS IN MICELLE PREPARATION - Formulations are formed of a diblock copolymer (X—Y) having a hydrophilic block X comprising residues of monomer x, and a hydrophobic block Y comprising residues of monomer y; an additive selected from an amino acid and an oligopeptide. Upon admixture with water, the formulations form drug delivery vehicles, preferably in micellar form. The inclusion of amino acid and/or oligopeptide provides for the formation of micelles at an enhanced rate, and/or provides the formation of micelles having an enhanced ability to incorporate drug(s), and/or provides the formation of micelles having advantageous physical characteristics. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090214652 | SOFT TISSUE IMPLANTS AND ANTI-SCARRING AGENTS - Soft tissue implants (e.g., breast, pectoral, chin, facial, lip, and nasal implants) are used in combination with an anti-scarring agent in order to inhibit scarring that may otherwise occur when the implant is placed within an animal. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090203632 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING CONTRACTURE - A method for treating contracture is provided that includes administering to a patient in need thereof a composition that includes a therapeutic agent effective in treating contracture. Compositions, devices, and kits for use in treating contracture are also described. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090192214 | DRUG DELIVERY FROM RAPID GELLING POLYMER COMPOSITION - Compositions are disclosed that afford drug delivery from two-part polymer compositions that rapidly form covalent linkages when mixed together. Such compositions are particularly well suited for use in a variety of tissue related applications when rapid adhesion to the tissue and gel formation is desired along with drug delivery. For example, the compositions are useful as tissue sealants, in promoting hemostasis, in effecting tissue adhesion, in providing tissue augmentation, and in the prevention of surgical adhesions. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090060973 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR COATING MEDICAL IMPLANTS - Medical implants are provided which release a fluoropyrimidine or an analog thereof, thereby inhibiting or reducing the incidence of infection associated with the implant. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20080247987 | Block Copolymer Compositions and Uses Thereof - The present invention describes compositions, devices, and methods for the production, use and administration of the composition having a non-thermoreversible block copolymer composition. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20080241217 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR COATING MEDICAL IMPLANTS - Medical implants are provided which release an anthracycline, fluoropyrimidine, folic acid antagonist, podophylotoxin, camptothecin, hydroxyurea, and/or platinum complex, thereby inhibiting or reducing the incidence of infection associated with the implant. | 10-02-2008 |
