20100059570 | Wound Closure Material - Articles are provided having no orientation or a multi-directional orientation. Such articles may be in the form of films, ribbons, sheets, and/or tapes and may be utilized as buttresses with a surgical stapling apparatus or as reinforcing means for suture lines. | 03-11-2010 |
20100209380 | ADHESIVE FORMULATIONS - The disclosure relates to biocompatible components useful for forming compositions for use as medical/surgical synthetic adhesives and sealants. Biocompatible components of the present disclosure may include a polymeric polyol core, which may be treated with a nitroaryl compound to form a nitro ester. The resulting nitro ester groups may be reduced to form amino groups which, in turn, may be treated to form isocyanate groups. The resulting isocyanate may then be reacted with a second component to form adhesive and/or sealant compositions. | 08-19-2010 |
20120248658 | System and Method for Formation of Biodegradable Ultra-Porous Hollow Fibers and Use Thereof - A system and method for forming biodegradable ultra-porous hollow fibers are disclosed. The fibers are formed by electrospinning a liquid polymer composition (e.g., solution) of a high molecular weight aliphatic polyester in a controlled environment. | 10-04-2012 |
20140213966 | HYDROGEL FILLED BARBED SUTURE - A medical device includes an elongated body including an outer surface having a plurality of barbs extending therefrom and an inner surface defining a lumen therethrough. The elongated body includes at least one channel extending through the inner surface and the outer surface, the channel defined between an inner surface of one of the plurality of barbs and a cut outer surface of the elongated body. A wound treatment material is disposed within the lumen of the elongated body. The barb is configured to move between a first position to close the channel and retain the wound treatment material within the lumen and a second position to open the channel and permit the release of the wound treatment material therethrough. | 07-31-2014 |
20140276387 | Medical Devices - The present disclosure provides medical devices possessing reactants thereon, which further promote adherence of the device to tissue in vivo and/or release of bioactive agents from the device. | 09-18-2014 |
20140371767 | ADHESIVE BARBED FILAMENT - The present disclosure provides filaments and/or surgical sutures which include an inner core, an outer sheath and a plurality of barbs on a surface thereof. The filaments and/or surgical sutures further include at least one adhesive precursor material which transitions from a non-adherent material to an adhesive material to attach a portion of the filament and/or suture to the surrounding area, such as tissue and/or other portions of the filament. | 12-18-2014 |
