Compositions and methods related to powdered hemostats that crosslink during and/or after application to a bleeding site are described. The compositions may comprise a first component comprising a polyalkylene oxide-based polymer functionalized with electrophilic reactive groups, and a second component that comprises a protein such as albumin and an optional crosslinking initiator—which may be a base or basic salt such as sodium bicarbonate. The compositions may in certain applications act as hemostats when applied in dry powder form to a bleeding wound, whereupon the first component and the second component of the composition crosslink to form a hydrogel.

A method of production of a tissue sealing patch is disclosed. The method comprises applying a vacuum to a heated work surface; applying a solution of a biocompatible polyurethane polymer to the work surface and spreading it over the work surface with a polymer blade; evaporating the solvent; heating the work surface above the softening temperature of the polymer; spreading powdered tissue sealant material over the polymer film; incorporating the tissue sealant material to a depth of 20-60 μm in the film by pressing on a release sheet placed over the powder and polymer film; removing the release sheet from the adhesive patch material; releasing the vacuum; cooling said work surface; and removing the adhesive patch material from said work surface. The biocompatible polymer preferably comprises PEG-caprolactone-lactic acid units connected by urethane linkages, the PEG having a molecular weight of 3000-3500 amu, and a CL:LA:PEG ratio of 34:2:1.

The present invention relates to a composition for hemostasis which contains collagen, stabilizer, and thrombin, and a container including the same. The present invention is applicable to a bleeding patient requiring emergency treatment with a simple method of use. There is no toxicity and no problem of blood infection. A biodegradation rate is fast. In this regard, the present invention achieves an excellent hemostatic effect. Therefore, the composition for hemostasis is useful as a hemostat.

Provided is a local hemostasis material, which exerts little influence on the human body, is inexpensive, and exerts a good hemostatic. The local hemostasis material comprises a base material having a first major surface and a layer including cationized cellulose on the first major surface, wherein the layer including cationized cellulose has a thickness of no less than 6.7 .Math.m.

Adhesives comprising rubber, tackifier, oil, and optionally absorbent and active ingredient are described. The adhesives are suitable for medical applications as they are repositionable on skin. Also described are medical articles using the adhesives.

This invention relates to polyurethane-based pressure sensitive adhesive compositions that comprise curable moieties. The adhesive compositions are “switchable” from a tacky state to a non-tacky state by initiating curing of the curable moieties. The adhesive compositions comprise the reaction product of: (A) a polymer component containing at least 2 nucleophilic functional groups containing an active hydrogen atom; and (B) a crosslinking component that is obtainable by reacting a polyisocyanate component and a ompound comprising a functional group that is curable by free-radical polymerisation and further comprising a nucleophilic functional group containing an active hydrogen atom.

A composite hydrogel contains alginate hydrogel and acellular matrix hydrogel. The ingredients used to produce the acellular matrix hydrogel contains acellular matrix and transglutaminases (TGases). The alginate hydrogel contains salginate complex. The alginate hydrogel and acellular matrix hydrogel constitute a three-dimensional crosslinking structure. The TGases can catalyze isopeptide bonding between acellular matrixes, and thus forms acellular matrix hydrogel through crosslinking.

The present technology provides a composition comprising a mixture of a source of calcium ions, alginate conjugated to an acrylate monomer (ALG-A), carboxymethylcellulose conjugated to an acrylate monomer (CMC-A) and water, wherein the mixture is a shear-thinning gel. The compositions may further include a polythiol agent. Such compositions are injectable due to their shear-thinning properties, yet stay in place, undergo in situ crosslinking, and provide safe, simple and efficacious endovascular embolization. Methods of making and using such compositions are also provided.

The present invention relates to a multi-use hemostatic composition and a method for producing the same, and more particularly, to a technique relating to a multi-use a hemostatic agent in which a first component having a modified anionized substituent and a second component that is a polymer having adhesiveness are included to provide improved hemostatic ability and biocompatibility so as to have applicability into surgery, laparoscopy, and various surgical procedures.

Blockchain environments may mix-and-match different encryption, difficulty, and/or proof-of-work schemes when mining blockchain transactions. Each encryption, difficulty, and/or proof-of-work scheme may be separate, stand-alone programs, files, or third-party services. Blockchain miners may be agnostic to a particular coin's or network's encryption, difficulty, and/or proof-of-work schemes, thus allowing any blockchain miner to process or mine data in multiple blockchains. GPUs, ASICs, and other specialized processing hardware components may be deterred by forcing cache misses, cache latencies, and processor stalls. Hashing, difficulty, and/or proof-of-work schemes require less programming code, consume less storage space/usage in bytes, and execute faster. Blockchain mining schemes may further randomize byte or memory block access, further improve cryptographic security.
