The polymer comprising the dispersed bioactive agent is a biostable, bioerodable or biodegradable polymer selected from the group consisting of polyesteramides, polythioesters, polyesterurethanes, polyesterurea's, PLLA, PLGA, polyesters, polyanhydrides, polycarbonates, polyurethanes, poly (amino acids), polypeptides, polyamides, polysaccharides, polyethers, polysulfones, poly(meth)acrylates, polysiloxanes, polyolefins. | 02-05-2015 |
20150246001 | PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURING OF A MULTILAYER DRUG DELIVERY CONSTRUCT - The present invention relates to a process for the manufacturing of a multilayer construct comprising layering at least one drug loaded film from which each film comprises a polymer and at least a drug manufactured by the steps of dissolving the polymer in an organic solvent, mixing the dissolved polymer with the drug, laminating the mixture between at least two polymeric sheets, whereby at least one sheet is permeable to the organic solvent, removing the sheets to provide the drug loaded film, layering the drug loaded film and fusing the drug loaded films into a multilayer construct. The present invention also relates to the multilayer construct obtainable by the process according to the present invention and to the use of the multilayer construct in ophthalmology, cardiovascular, pain management, musculoskeletal, cancer treatment or in vaccine delivery. | 09-03-2015 |
20150328374 | COATING COMPRISING POLYESTERAMIDE COPOLYMERS FOR DRUG DELIVERY - The invention relates to a coating comprising a biodegradable polymer comprising at least two different functional groups pendant to the polymer backbone, which functional groups are selected from the group of carboxyl-, amine, hydroxyl, ester, amide-, thiol- or thioester groups. The two different functional groups comprise at least an unprotected hydrophilic functional group chosen from a carboxyl-, amine, thiol or hydroxyl group and at least a protected hydrophobic functional group chosen from an ester, amide- or thioester group. The invention further relates to an implantable device comprising the coating composition. The implantable device is includes cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators; leads and electrodes for the preceding, organ stimulators such as nerve, bladder, sphincter and diaphragm stimulators, prostheses, rods, vascular grafts, self-expandable stents, balloon-expandable stents, stent-grafts, grafts, catheters, artificial heart valves and cerebrospinal fluid shunts. | 11-19-2015 |
