Abstract:
The present invention is an adhesive composition for stabilizing an electrical conductor. The adhesive composition includes a base polymer and an additive for absorbing UV light, such as a benzotriazole or a benzophenone. When the adhesive composition is in contact with the electrical conductor, the electrical conductor has less than about a 20% change in electrical resistance over a period of about 500 hours.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions, devices, methods and processes related to the intradermal delivery of PTHrP and PTHrP analogues, particularly [Glu 22,25 , Leu 23,28,31 , Aib 29 , Lys2 6,30 ]hPTHrP(l-34)NH 2 .
Abstract:
A medical device comprising a composition comprising a therapeutically active amount of active agent, a zinc compound, and an array of microneedles. The zinc compound may be selected from the group consisting of zinc, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of zinc, and mixtures thereof. At least a portion of the composition is present as a coating on at least a portion of the microneedles. Methods of delivering a therapeutically active agent to a mammal using compositions of the disclosure are also included.
Abstract:
A decorative sheet includes a decorative base layer; an adhesive layer disposed on a surface of the decorative base layer; and transparent layer disposed on an opposing surface of the base layer from the adhesive layer. The base layer may include up to 50 weight percent inorganic non-combustible filler. The sheet has a reduced heat of combustion or reduced flammability relative to currently available decorative sheets.
Abstract:
A medical device, comprising: an array of microneedles, and a coating disposed on the microneedles, wherein the coating comprises: a local anesthetic selected from the group consisting of lidocaine, prilocaine, and a combination thereof; and a local anesthetic dose-extending component selected from the group consisting of alpha 1 adrenergic agonists, alpha 2 adrenergic agonists, and a combination thereof; wherein the local anesthetic is present in an amount of at least 1 wt-% based upon total weight of solids in the coating, and wherein the dose-extending component/local anesthetic weight ratio is at least 0.0001; a medical device, comprising an array of dissolvable microneedles, the microneedles comprising: a dissolvable matrix material; at least 1 wt-% of a local anesthetic selected from the group consisting of lidocaine, prilocaine, and a combination thereof; and a local anesthetic dose-extending component selected from the group consisting of alpha 1 adrenergic agonists, alpha 2 adrenergic agonists, and a combination thereof; wherein the dose-extending component/local anesthetic weight ratio is at least 0.0001, and wherein wt-% is based upon total weight of solids in all portions of the dissolvable microneedles which contain the local anesthetic; a method of extending a topically delivered local anesthetic dose in mammalian tissue using the devices; and methods of making the devices are provided.
