Described herein are formulations that transition from a liquid state to a solid state for use in the embolization of arteriovenous malformations (AVM's) and solid tumors.

Antitoxic fibers and fabrics contain impregnated material including an antitoxin. A method for producing antitoxic fabric and products includes impregnating a fabric formed from nonpolymeric or polymeric fibers by fully immersing the fabric in a solution of a concentrate of triiodide and an additive portion that includes an oil of ethoxylated fatty acids in sufficient proportion to stabilize the triiodide in the fabric. An antitoxic fabric includes polymeric or nonpolymeric fibers and impregnated material, which includes an antitoxin, the antitoxin being triiodide, and additional chemical components including an oil of ethoxylated fatty acids in sufficient proportion to stabilize the triiodide in the antitoxic fabric. The antitoxic fabric is efficacious on contact, and maintains efficacy with negligible toxicity in use. Products with antitoxic fabric include wound dressings, gowns, surgical drapes, protective clothing, shoe covers, gloves, hair covers, air filters, including facemasks, privacy, hygienic products, curtains, medical tape, and wipes.

The invention relates to a hemostatic composition comprising a mixture of cellulose-based short and long fibers, preparation and use thereof.

An embodiment includes a wound dressing comprising: a shape memory polymer (SMP) foam, including open cells, having first and second states; and a hydrogel (HG) included within the cells; wherein (a) in a first position a composite, including the SMP foam and the HG, is configured to be located proximate a hemorrhagic tissue with the SMP foam in the first state; (b) in a second position the composite is configured to be expanded to the second state against the hemorrhagic tissue when the SMP foam is plasticized at 37° C. depressing a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) of the SMP foam to below 25° C. Other embodiments are described herein.

The present invention relates to improved hemostatic compositions comprising cellulose-based fibers supplemented with compounds, preparation and use thereof.

The invention relates to a hemostatic composition comprising a mixture of cellulose-based short and long fibers, preparation and use thereof.

Adhesive wound dressing that comprises an absorbent matrix (A) adhering to the central portion of a polyurethane backing (B) having an adhesive layer for the skin, said matrix (A) comprising: a. a breathable and porous polyethylene film at the end designed to come into contact with the wound; b. an absorbent layer made of non-woven fabric adjacent to film a), said absorbent layer consisting of: i. 60-65% viscose ii. 25-30% polyester iii. 5-15% polypropylene; c. a layer of polyethylene inserted between layer b) and a layer d. of hydrophobic polystyrene, the latter being in contact with the central portion of polyurethane backing (B); wherein matrix (A) is impregnated with a solution of one or more polysaccharides or the salts thereof.

Provided is an antibacterial biological implant capable of exhibiting superior antibacterial activity stably over a long period of time. The antibacterial biological implant 1 includes a substrate 2 made of a metal material and an anodized coating 3 provided on the substrate 2, the anodized coating 3 including an iodine-rich layer 31 located close to an interface S between the anodized coating 3 and the substrate 2.

Antitoxic fibers and fibrous media contain impregnated material including an antitoxin. A method for producing antitoxic fibers and fibrous media includes impregnating a fibrous media by dipping in a dipping solution containing a concentrate of an antitoxin to form a fiber with impregnated material including an antitoxin. The impregnated material is at least about 1.0% to about 2.5% by weight of the fibers and includes additive chemical components including at least one of an anionic, cationic or nonionic component, an oil and/or an organic solvent, and an alcohol. The additives include those found in a spin finish. The antitoxin is in an amount of at least 0.1% by weight of the fiber. The manufacturing process can be applied to any woven or nonwoven media. Products with antitoxic properties formed therefrom include wound dressings, gowns, articles of clothing, surgical drapes, protective clothing, shoe covers, gloves, hair covers, air filters, including facemasks, privacy, hygienic products, curtains, medical tape, and wipes.

The present invention relates to improved hemostatic compositions comprising cellulose-based fibers supplemented with compounds, preparation and use thereof.
