Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prepare a surgical implant that is porous and matched to an issue structure and delivered in a manner with minimum invasiveness in accordance with its prescription.SOLUTION: The atomizable surgical implant includes: a first component including microparticulates having a size of about 10 μm to about 500 μm; and a second component including at least one cross-linking reagent. The second component includes the microparticulates whose surface is modified with at least one of the cross-linking reagent.
Abstract:
A medical device includes a substrate having at least a portion thereof functionalized with at least one reactive member and a chemotactic agent functionalized with at least one complementary reactive member, wherein the at least one reactive member and the at least one complementary reactive member are covalently bonded, adhering the chemotactic agent to the substrate.
Abstract:
A biocompatible and bioresorbable adhesive for surgical and therapeutic uses is composed of a chitosan bonded with a functionalized polysaccharide.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an implant comprising: a sheet of bacterial cellulose having a macro-pattern positioned on at least a portion thereof. The invention also relates to a method for making such an implant.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and process for forming medical devices from an injectable composition. The apparatus includes a supply assembly configured to maintain and selective dispense a first precursor and a second precursor, a mixing assembly configured to mix the first and second precursors, and at least one catalyzing element including a transition metal ion to aid in the polymerization of the first and second precursors. The process includes dispensing a volume of the first precursor and a volume of the second precursor into a mixing assembly and mixing the first and second precursors. The first and second precursors each possess a core and at least one functional group known to have click reactivity with each other. The mixed precursors are contacted with a transition metal catalyst to produce a flowable composition for use as a medical device.
