| 20080261266 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR A MICROEMULSION-BASED TISSUE TREATMENT - The invention is directed to methods and compositions for deparaffinizing paraffin-embedded biological samples for subsequent tissue staining. The compositions are microemulsions that may include water/oil/surfactant microemulsions, and optionally a cosurfactant. The microemulsions enable deparaffinization without the use of xylene or toluene, and also enable solvent exchange without the use of intermediary alcohol dehydration or alcohol rehydration compositions. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080287633 | Hydrogel Materials - The present invention relates to biocompatible crosslinked biomaterials made from polycondensation polymerization reactions involving polynucleophilic-polyelectrophilic precursors that address the limitations of steric hindrance, viscosity, and diffusion currently reducing gelation rates and curing thoroughness of the biomaterials. A cross-linking scheme is utilized in the invention that permits rapid gelation and thorough curing of the biomaterial. The biomaterial is made by polycondensation polymerization of polynucleophilic-polyelectrophilic precursors to form a water-soluble polymer crosslinked with a water-soluble crosslinker having at most one core cyclic structure. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090202611 | COMPOSITE SELF-COHERED WEB MATERIALS - The present invention is directed to implantable bioabsorbable non-woven self-cohered web materials having a high degree of porosity. The web materials are very supple and soft, while exhibiting proportionally increased mechanical strength in one or more directions. The web materials often possess a high degree of loft. The web materials can be formed into a variety of shapes and forms suitable for use as implantable medical devices or components thereof. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100233266 | ARTICLES AND METHODS OF TREATING VASCULAR CONDITIONS - The present invention relates to articles and methods of treating vascular conditions with a thixotropic, turbid, bioactive agent-containing gel material capable of being essentially removed from an implantation site upon re-establishment of fluid flow at the implantation site. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20110039960 | Expandable Functional TFE Copolymer Fine Powder, the Expanded Functional Products Obtained Therefrom and Reaction of the Expanded Products - A functional TFE copolymer fine powder is described, wherein the TFE copolymer is a polymer of TFE and at least one functional comonomer, and wherein the TFE copolymer has functional groups that are pendant to the polymer chain. The functional TFE copolymer fine powder resin is paste extrudable and expandable. Methods for making the functional TFE copolymer are also described. The expanded functional TFE copolymer material may be post-reacted after expansion. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110064781 | NOVEL HEPARIN ENTITIES AND METHODS OF USE - The present invention relates to immobilized biologically active entities that retain a significant biological activity following manipulation. The invention also comprises a medical substrate comprising a heparin entity bound onto a substrate via at least one heparin molecule, wherein said bound heparin entity is heparinase-1 sensitive. | 03-17-2011 |
