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.

Antimicrobial formulations and coatings for medical devices and processes therefor are disclosed. The formulations include at least one water permeable polymer with at least one antimicrobial agent in a liquid medium and are prepared by wet milling the components and can form antimicrobial coatings having uniformly dispersed particles having an average size of no greater than 50 microns.

Provided is foley catheter and a composition for producing a foley catheter which is inserted in vivo and a method for producing the same, which the composition consists of the materials which carbon nanotube polymer (CNT Polymer) bonded a carbon nanotube and zinc oxide (ZnO) is combined with a silicon, wherein from 1.0 to 2.2 parts by weight of the said carbon nanotube polymer are combined with 100 parts by weight of silicon.

Described are polymers and methods of forming and using same.

A heart valve leaflet including a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) mesh material that has a stiffness that is comparable to a native heart valve leaflet, such that it functionally mimics a native heart valve leaflet. The heart valve leaflets optionally include one to three layers of cells cultured on each side of the mesh material. Also disclosed is a heart valve including the heart valve leaflet and a frame.

An embolic material contains at least one type of polymer and a liposoluble contrast medium. A method for producing an embolic material includes extruding a raw material that is in a molten state into a solvent, and cooling the raw material so as to solidify the raw material. The raw material contains a polymer and a liposoluble contrast medium.
