An embolization system and methods for controlling solidification of embolic compositions comprising a first and a second embolic component that react with each other in vivo at a target site to form an embolic material, with the embolic components being dilutable in physiological fluids so that they do not form an embolic composition at a site that is not desired.

A corneal implant includes one or more extracellular matrix (ECM) components; and one or more crosslinking/polymerization promoting agents, wherein the one or more ECM components undergo crosslinking/polymerization on exposure to an initiator.

Provided herein are therapeutic acrylate compounds useful as medical adhesives, comprising a therapeutic agent covalently linked to a methacrylate or cyanoacrylate moiety. Adhesive compositions and kits, such as liquid sutures and bone cement also are provided along with uses for the compositions.

The present invention relates to a water-absorbing polymer and to a process for preparation, including finishing the water-absorbing polymer, with 0.0001 to 3% by weight, of a peroxo compound, based on the acrylic acid, after the polymerization is treated, and to a process for producing a hydrogel polymer, to the product of the process and to use.

A composition including: (a) one or more alkyl acrylaor alkyl methacrylate based polymer film forming agents; (b) one or more (C.sub.1-C.sub.6)alkyl N(alpha)-(C.sub.10-C.sub.25)alkanoyl-L-arginate disinfectant or a salt thereof; (c) a solvent system comprising: (c1) one or more water immiscible solvents selected from (C.sub.1-C.sub.5)alkyl-COO(C.sub.1-C.sub.6)alkyl, ((C.sub.1-C.sub.6)alkyl).sub.3SiO-Si((C.sub.1-C.sub.6)alkyl).sub.3, (C.sub.1-C.sub.5)alkyl-O(C.sub.2-C.sub.5)alkyl and a mixture thereof; (c2) acetone; and (c3) one or more (C.sub.2-C.sub.3) alcohols and processes for its preparation. An adherent film, including: (a) one or more film forming agents; and (b) one or more disinfectants; and processes for its preparation.

The invention relates to a device comprising a surgical material and a support material and related methods for the application of the surgical material to a wound or surgical site using the device.

Patterned hydrogel arrays and methods of preparing patterned hydrogel arrays are disclosed. Advantageously, the methods used to prepare the patterned hydrogel arrays allow for controlling individual hydrogel spot conditions such as hydrogel spot modulus, hydrogel spot ligand identity and hydrogel spot ligand density, which allows for preparing a wide range of hydrogel spots in a single array format. Patterned hydrogel arrays can also be formed to include hydrogel-free pools surrounded by hydrogel. Additionally, the patterned hydrogel arrays of the present disclosure support the culture of a range of cell types. The patterned hydrogel arrays offer the ability to rapidly screen substrate components for influencing cell attachment, spreading, proliferation, migration, and differentiation.

Durable hydrophilic compositions comprising aliphatic polyester, an anionic surfactant, and in some embodiments, a carrier.
