Abstract:
The present invention relates to method of preparing an absorbent wound care device comprising an active agent on a wound contacting surface, such as e.g. a protein or an enzyme, by the use of electrospraying, and a wound care device obtained by said method. The invention further relates to a wound care device comprising Thrombin and a polyurethane foam, and a method of treating bleeding.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to new reinforced biodegradable scaffolds for soft tissue regeneration, as well as methods for support and for augmentation and regeneration of living tissue, wherein a reinforced biodegradable scaffold is used for the treatment of indications, where increased strength and stability is required besides the need for regeneration of living tissue within a patient. The present invention further relates to the use of scaffolds together with cells or tissue explants for soft tissue regeneration, such as in the treatment of a medical prolapse, such as rectal or pelvic organ prolapse, or hernia.
Abstract:
The present application discloses biodegradable polymers, to porous and other materials comprising such polymers, and to various medical uses of such materials, including use as a scaffold for supporting cell adhesion or the in-growth for regeneration of tissue. The polymer is of the formula A-O-(CHR1CHR2O)n-B wherein A is a poly(lactide-co-glycolide) residue, the molar ratio of (i) lactide units [-CH(CH3)-COO-] and (ii) glycolide units [-CH2-COO-] in the poly(lactide-co-glycolide) residue being in the range of 80:20 to 10:90, B is either a poly(lactide-co-glycolide) residue or hydrogen, C1-6-alkyl or hydroxy protecting groups, one of R1 and R2 is hydrogen or methyl, and the other is hydrogen, n is 10-1000, the molar ratio of (iii) polyalkylene glycol units [-(CHR1CHR2O)-] to the combined amount of (i) lactide units and (ii) glycolide units in the poly(lactide-co-glycolide) residue(s) is at the most 14:86, and the molecular weight of the copolymer is at least 20,000 g/mol.
Abstract:
A stabilised composition having antibacterial, antiviral and/or antifungal activity, said composition comprising silver ions and a ligand, characterised in that the composition comprises a complex of silver and a ligand selected from the group consisting of 5,5-disubstituted hydantoins in which the substituents do not comprise conjugated unsaturated bonds and barbituric acid and derivatives thereof stabilising silver ions against reduction to free silver in a hydrophilic environment, and that the composition has a solubility in water higher than 10 mg Ag/l is stable during sterilisation and retains the activity without giving rise to darkening or discoloration of the dressing during storage.
