The present disclosure pertains to crosslinkable compositions and systems as well as methods for forming crosslinked compositions in situ, including the use of the same for embolizing vasculature including the neurovasculature within a patient, among many other uses.

Moisture-curable adhesive compositions, their preparation and use are disclosed herein. The moisture-curable adhesive compositions include one or more reactive polymers, such as reactive silicone polymers, one or more adhesive components, such as a silicone pressure sensitive polymer(s) (PSAs), a cross-linker and a catalyst. Typically, the reactive silicone polymer or polymers are hydroxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) having at least two hydroxyl functionalities associated with the polymer(s).

Adhesive compositions and patches, and associated systems, kits, and methods, are generally described. Certain of the adhesive compositions and patches can be used to treat tissues (e.g., in hemostatic or other tissue treatment applications), according to certain embodiments.

A medical adhesive that bonds well to human tissue while curing in a fast, controllable manner. In a preferred form, the medical adhesive includes an oligomer, a hydrogel and/or water soluble polymer and a photoinitiator. Preferred oligomers include epoxides, urethanes, polyethers, polyester or a combination thereof. Hydrogels and water soluble polymers aid adhesion to moist surfaces, such as skin tissue, because they are hydrophilic and biodegradable. Preferred hydrogels include polymer hydrogels (PHGs). Suitable water soluble polymers include polyethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly-2-oxazoline. The photoinitiator is used to obtain fast, controllable curing of the adhesive compound. Curing takes place on demand when ultraviolet (UV) light is applied to the medical adhesive. To increase adhesion as well as to control flexibility and toughness, the medical adhesive may also include one or more monomers. Suitable monomers include acrylates and vinyls.

Compositions of, methods of making, and methods of using alkaline earth phosphate bone cements are disclosed. A bone cement composition includes a powder comprising a basic source of calcium, magnesium, or strontium, a setting solution comprising H3PO4 and a buffer, and a biocompatible polymer that is incorporated into the setting solution. The powder is mixed with the setting solution to form a bone cement paste that either (a) sets into a hardened mass, or (b) is irradiated with electromagnetic radiation to form dry powders, the dry powders then being mixed with a second setting solution to form a radiation-assisted bone cement paste that sets into a hardened mass.
