20150045507 | CROSS-LINKED POLYMERS AND MEDICAL PRODUCTS DERIVED FROM NUCLEOPHILICALLY ACTIVATED POLYOXAZOLINE - One aspect of the invention relates to a biocompatible medical product comprising at least 1% by weight of dry matter of a covalently cross-linked polymer that is obtained by reacting a nucleophilically activated polyoxazoline (NU-POX) with an electrophilic cross-linking agent other than an electrophilically activated polyoxazoline, said NU-POX comprising m nucleophilic groups; and said electrophilic cross-linking agent comprising n electrophilic groups, wherein the m nucleophilic groups are capable of reaction with the n electrophilic groups to form covalent bonds; wherein m≧2, n≧2 and m+n≧5; and wherein the NU-POX comprises at least 30 oxazoline units in case the electrophilic cross-linking agent is an isocyanate. Also provided is a kit for producing the aforementioned biocompatible cross-linked polymer. The biocompatible cross-linked polymers according to the invention have excellent implant and/or sealing characteristics. | 02-12-2015 |
20130345334 | CROSS-LINKED POLYMERS AND IMPLANTS DERIVED FROM ELECTROPHILICALLY ACTIVATED POLYOXAZOLINE - One aspect of the invention relates to a biocompatible, covalently cross-linked, polymer that is obtained by reacting an electrophilically activated polyoxazoline (EL-POX) with a nucleophilic cross-linking agent, said electrophilically activated POX comprising m electrophilic groups; and said nucleophilic cross-linking agent comprising n nucleophilic groups, wherein the m electrophilic groups are capable of reaction with the n nucleophilic groups to form covalent bonds; wherein m≧2, n≧2 and m+n≧5; wherein at least one of the m electrophilic groups is a pendant electrophilic group and/or wherein m≧3; and wherein the EL-POX comprises an excess amount of electrophilic groups relative to the amount of nucleophilic groups contained in the nucleophilic cross-linking agent. The invention further relates to biocompatible medical products comprising such a cross-linked POX-polymer. Also provided is a kit for producing a biocompatible, cross-linked POX-polymer. The invention further provides a tissue adhesive medical product comprising at least 1% by weight of dry matter of EL-POX, said EL-POX comprising at least 2 electrophilic groups, including at least one pendant electrophilic group. The polymers according to the invention have excellent implant and/or sealing characteristics. | 12-26-2013 |
20130096080 | STERILE ALGINATE-BASED AQUEOUS COMPOSITION FOR MEDICAL USE AND PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF - The present invention relates to ready-to-use sterile, alginate-based, aqueous compositions for medical use. More particularly, the invention relates to an aqueous composition for medical use that has been sterilized by heat sterilization and having a viscosity at 25° C. of at least 300 cP) (Helipath® T F spindle, 100 rpm at 25° C.), said composition having a pH in the range of 6.5-7.5; containing 0.5-10 wt. % of an alginate salt; and further containing 10-500 mM of one or more dissolved C | 04-18-2013 |
