Fibrin and/or dialdehyde starch hydrolysate materials, and preparation and use thereof
Various compositions of matter, methods of making compositions of matter, and methods of using compositions of matter, e.g. for inducing hemostasis, are disclosed. In some embodiments, a starting fibrin material is subjected to controlled hydrolysis, desirably base-catalyzed, to prepare a fibrin hydrolysate material with increased water sorption capacity. Such fibrin hydrolysate materials, alone or combined with one or more additional substances, can be used in the preparation of hemostasis promoting foams, powders or gels. In some embodiments, a starting dialdehyde starch material is subjected to controlled hydrolysis to prepare a dialdehyde starch hydrolysate material. Such dialdehyde starch hydrolysate materials, alone or combined with one or more additional substances, in some cases combined with a fibrin hydrolysate material, can be used in the preparation of hemostasis promoting foams, powders or gels.
Preparation method of calcium peroxide-mediated in situ crosslinkable hydrogel as a sustained oxygen-generating matrix, and biomedical use thereof
A preparation method of calcium peroxide-mediated in situ crosslinkable hydrogel as a sustained oxygen-generating matrix, includes: a) reacting a natural or a synthetic polymer with Traut's reagent (TR) in a solvent, and synthesizing a polymer derivative having thiol group in backbone of the polymer derivative; and b) mixing and reacting a solution of the polymer derivative having thiol group with calcium peroxide (CaO.sub.2), and thereby forming a hydrogel, wherein in the step b), disulfide bonds (—S—S) are induced between backbones of the polymer derivative having thiol group attached by decomposition of calcium peroxide (CaO.sub.2), and thereby in situ crosslinking is formed.
ADHESIVE FOR SURGICAL STAPLE LINE REINFORCEMENT
The present disclosure provides medical products including an adhesive containing a carboxyalkyl cellulose and sorbitol. Such medical products can find use as a bolster material for use in conjunction with a surgical fastening device such as a stapler. Such adhesives may include advantageous properties such as the ability to retain tack while stored under a peelable cover. Related methods of manufacture and use are also described.
Hemostatic compositions and methods of making thereof
The present invention is directed to hemostatic compositions comprising at least partially integrated agglomerated oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) fibers, fibrinogen, and thrombin and methods of forming a powdered hemostatic composition, comprising the steps of: forming a suspension of a mixture comprising particles of fibrinogen, thrombin, ORC fibers in a non-aqueous low boiling solvent; spraying the suspension through a nozzle onto a substrate, allowing the non-aqueous solvent to evaporate; separating from the substrate and sieving the composition.
DUAL CHECK VALVE ONE HANDED APPLICATOR
Delivery devices, delivery systems, and related methods, for precise administration of hemostatic compositions are disclosed, which may include a trigger mechanism, a pusher, a valve, and a cannula. The pusher is configured to engage with the trigger mechanism, retain a first syringe, a least by coupling with a plunger of the first syringe. The valve is fluidly coupled to the first syringe. The valve is further configured to engage with a second syringe, in fluid communication with both the valve and the first syringe. The cannula extends distally from and is fluidly coupled to the valve. Activation of the trigger mechanism causes the pusher and the plunger of the first syringe to translate in a distal direction, to expel a composition out of the first syringe, through the valve, through the cannula, and out of a distal end of the cannula.
FLOWABLE HEMOSTATIC SUSPENSION
Compositions and methods related to flowable hemostats that crosslink during and/or after application to a bleeding site are generally described.
FLOWABLE HEMOSTATIC SUSPENSION
Compositions and methods related to flowable hemostats that crosslink during and/or after application to a bleeding site are generally described.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF SKIN DEPIGMENTATION
A cellularized patch for treating a scar or skin condition of a subject The cellularized patch and methods of use thereof are advantageous in skin graft procedures performed, for example, to treat a subject having a skin condition comprising skin hypopigmentation or depigmentation, such as vitiligo. In some cases, human melanocytes are cultured ex vivo and seeded onto a transfer patch before being applied to a subject.
HEMOSTATIC DRESSING AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Provided is a hemostatic dressing. The hemostatic dressing includes: a porous matrix layer including a biocompatible polymer; a hemostatic layer loaded on the porous matrix layer and including a polymer in which polyhydric phenol-containing moieties are introduced; and a binding layer interposed between the porous matrix layer and the hemostatic layer to prevent the porous matrix layer from being separated from the hemostatic layer.
ADHESIVE DRUG CARRIER
The present invention relates to an adhesive drug carrier comprising an injectable hydrogel comprising at least one medication, wherein the hydrogel comprises a (i) a protein-based polymer functionalized with a functionalization agent that is able to form guest-host interactions with oxidized P-cyclodextrin, cross-linked with (ii) an oxidized P-cyclodextrin (oβ-CD) as matrix and the at least one medication (iii), and wherein the hydrogel further comprises (iv) a protein-based polymer bearing quinone and/or catechol groups. The invention further relates to a method for its preparation and a method for treatment.
