Thromboresistant coatings for aneurysm treatment devices
Disclosed are coating compositions, processes, and designs for endowing vascular devices with thromboresistant and endothelializing properties. Also disclosed are designs of vascular devices used as aneurysm treating devices for assisting in the delivery, packing, and maintenance of embolization coils within an aneurysm, particularly a neurovascular aneurysm.
Method of using a cardiovascular graft to reduce thrombosis or platelet adhesion
A cardiovascular graft is provided with highly reduced thrombogenicity. The cardiovascular graft is an electrospun non-woven mesh produced from supramolecular polymers with large diameter fibers. The cardiovascular graft can be implemented as a vascular graft into the human body to allow vascular bypass/reconstruction, or repeated venous access for dialysis treatment, as well as other disorders of small-diameter blood vessels.
PERCUTANEOUS OSSEOINTEGRATED IMPLANT ASSEMBLY FOR USE IN SUPPORTING AN EXO-PROSTHESIS
An implant assembly for a long bone is adapted to support an exo-prosthesis. The assembly includes a stem, a subdermal component and a percutaneous post. The stem has a proximal end that is adapted to be received in a surgically prepared medullary canal of the long bone, and a distal end having a surface that is adapted to promote bone ingrowth. The subdermal component includes a proximal portion that is adapted for attachment to the distal end of the stem, and a fixation surface that is adapted to promote soft tissue fixation. The percutaneous post has a proximal end that is adapted to be attached to the subdermal component.
Stent for inhibiting restenosis and stimulating reendothelialization prepared by femtosecond laser processing and method of preparing the same
Provided are a stent in which a surface of a stent strut is treated by femtosecond laser radiation and is modified by a natural polymer and a method of preparing the stent. The stent and the preparing method may inhibit restenosis and stimulate reendothelialization.
Platelet Adhesion Reduction Cardiovascular Graft
A cardiovascular graft is provided with highly reduced thrombogenicity. The cardiovascular graft is an electrospun non-woven mesh produced from supramolecular polymers with large diameter fibers. The cardiovascular graft can be implemented as a vascular graft into the human body to allow vascular bypass/reconstruction, or repeated venous access for dialysis treatment, as well as other disorders of small-diameter blood vessels.
MECHANICAL PROSTHETIC HEART VALVE ASSEMBLY FOR THE PROVISION OF SURFACE ANTICOAGULATION THEREON
A mechanical prosthetic heart valve assembly for the provision of surface anticoagulation by generating an electrostatic field of a plurality of negatively charged ions thereon, acting as neo-endothelium on the mechanical prosthetic heart valve, referred as Surface Anticoagulation by Electrical Neo-endothelialization (SAEN). The mechanical prosthetic heart valve assembly comprises a mechanical prosthetic heart valve housing; a pair of mechanical prosthetic heart valve discs; a mechanical prosthetic heart valve sewing ring; an implantable pulse generator serving as a source of electricity for generating the electrostatic field of the plurality of negatively charged ions thereon the surface of the mechanical prosthetic heart valve; a pulse generator bipolar lead connected to the outer surface of the mechanical prosthetic heart valve housing (102), using an electrode; and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft sutured to margins of a fenestration on the mechanical prosthetic heart valve sewing ring.
Percutaneous osseointegrated implant assembly for use in supporting an exo-prosthesis
An implant assembly for a long bone is adapted to support an exo-prosthesis. The assembly includes a stem, a subdermal component and a percutaneous post. The stem has a proximal end that is adapted to be received in a surgically prepared medullary canal of the long bone, and a distal end having a surface that is adapted to promote bone ingrowth. The subdermal component includes a proximal portion that is adapted for attachment to the distal end of the stem, and a fixation surface that is adapted to promote soft tissue fixation. The percutaneous post has a proximal end that is adapted to be attached to the subdermal component.
Inhibition of Platelet Absorption
A cardiovascular graft is provided with highly reduced thrombogenicity. The cardiovascular graft is an electrospun non-woven mesh produced from supramolecular polymers with large diameter fibers. The cardiovascular graft can be implemented as a vascular graft into the human body to allow vascular bypass/reconstruction, or repeated venous access for dialysis treatment, as well as other disorders of small-diameter blood vessels.
Multi-layered anti-adhesion device
Compositions and methods are provided for preparing an adhesion barrier in the form of a foldable or flexible biodegradable polymer matrix that effectively reduces, prevents or treats adhesions in a patient in need thereof. In one embodiment, the matrix comprises a first porous layer comprising collagen and a second porous layer comprising collagen and dextran, wherein the dextran is loaded in the second layer in an amount of from about 5% to about 90% by weight based on a total weight of the matrix. In some embodiments, the matrix prevents or reduces cell growth into the matrix so as to reduce or prevent adhesions. In some embodiments, the matrix is in a sheet or strip form that can be folded into a tube form.
THROMBORESISTANT COATINGS FOR ANEURYSM TREATMENT DEVICES
Disclosed are coating compositions, processes, and designs for endowing vascular devices with thromboresistant and endothelializing properties. Also disclosed are designs of vascular devices used as aneurysm treating devices for assisting in the delivery, packing, and maintenance of embolization coils within an aneurysm, particularly a neurovascular aneurysm.
