Biodegradable antimicrobial films are provided that are solid at room temperature and substantially liquefy in situ after implantation into a mammal, such as a human patient. Methods of using the films to cover a medical device, such as a breast implant, prior to insertion into a subject are also provided.

A method of manufacturing a tubular graft may include the steps of: providing a textile including a tubular wall disposed between a first open end and an opposed second open end, an inner surface and an opposed outer surface defining an interior wall portion therein between, the tubular wall including a textile construction of one or more filaments or yarns, the textile construction by itself being permeable to liquid; applying a substantially water-soluble material to at least a portion of the tubular wall; and applying a substantially water-insoluble sealant to at least a part of the outer surface of the tubular wall, the substantially water-insoluble sealant being configured to mitigate movement of fluid through the wall of the conduit; where the water-soluble material is configured to mitigate penetration of the sealant to the inner surface of the conduit.

Various aspects described herein relate to compositions comprising silk fibroin fragments with particular characteristics and/or properties as well as methods of making and using the same.

A textile graft includes a tubular wall disposed between a first open end and an opposed second open end and having an inner surface and an opposed outer surface. The tubular wall includes a textile construction of one or more filaments or yarns, the textile construction by itself being permeable to liquid. A portion of the inner surface of the tubular wall includes a coating of a substantially water-soluble material thereon. The outer surface includes a coating of a substantially water-insoluble elastomeric sealant disposed thereon. The tubular wall having the coating of the substantially water-insoluble elastomeric sealant is, after curing thereof, substantially impermeable to liquid.

An osteostimulative, bioactive and flowable bone void filler or bone cement. This bone void filler may be a settable, hardening material having sufficient compression strength for use in bone repair techniques. The cement may be a calcium phosphate cement having incorporated therein bioactive glass, and can be used as a bone graft substitute or bone void filler for any number of applications in spine surgery and orthopedic surgery, such as for example, subchondral bone repair.

A composition comprising polymer particles and a carrier, wherein the polymer particles are a mixture of at least a first polymer and a second polymer, wherein the first polymer is at least partially soluble or dispersible in the carrier, and wherein the polymer particles are arranged such that they can join together to form a scaffold of polymer particles, and wherein the composition is administrable to a human or non-human animal.
