Provided are a medical material for promoting cell growth and inhibiting bacterial adhesion and a machining method thereof. The machining method comprises: modifying a surface component of the medical material; preparing a micro-nano structure formed by superposing multiple levels of sizes; and selecting one of the two steps above, or carrying out component modification on a surface of the medical material first and then forming the micro-nano structure by superposing the multiple levels of sizes. The micro-nano structure formed by superposing the multiple levels of sizes comprises a first-level structure which is a micron-level groove structure, a second-level structure which is a submicron-level stripe structure or an array protrusion structure and a third-level structure which is a nano-level protrusion structure, the second-level structure is distributed on a surface of the first-level structure, and the third-level structure is distributed on a surface of the second-level structure.

Hemostatic devices for promoting blood clotting can include a substrate (e.g., gauze, textile, sponge, sponge matrix, one or more fibers, etc.), a hemostatic material disposed thereon such as kaolin clay, and a binder material such as crosslinked calcium alginate with a high guluronate monomer molar percentage disposed on the substrate to substantially retain the hemostatic material material. When the device is used to treat a bleeding wound, at least a portion of the clay material comes into contact with blood to accelerate clotting. Moreover, when exposed to blood, the binder has low solubility and retains a majority of the clay material on the gauze. A bandage that can be applied to a bleeding wound to promote blood clotting includes a flexible substrate and a gauze substrate mounted thereon.

A cable includes a sheath, and a coating film covering a circumference of the sheath. The coating film adheres to the sheath. The static friction coefficient of a surface of the coating film is smaller than the static friction coefficient of a surface of the sheath. The adhesion strength between the sheath and the coating film is 0.30 MPa or more.

A disposable coating applicator container for applying a coating of a therapeutic agent upon an object to be coated. The disposable coating applicator container includes a sealable container, the sealable container having a container bottom, the container bottom having upwardly extending walls, each upwardly extending wall terminating in an upper edge, and a closure for sealing a device compartment formed in part by the upwardly extending walls, the closure adjacent to the upper edges of the upwardly extending walls; and a therapeutic agent positioned in fluid communication with the device compartment, wherein the disposable coating applicator container comprises a flexible material and is in the form of a bag-like structure.

Disclosed are a polyurethane condom (100) with an adhesive layer (20) and a preparation method therefor. The polyurethane condom (100) with the adhesive layer (20) comprises a first polyurethane film layer (10), the adhesive layer (20) on the first polyurethane film layer (10), and a second film layer (30) on the adhesive layer (20), wherein the adhesive layer (20) includes 0 to 100% by weight of a polar component, 0 to 100% by weight of a non-polar component, and 0 to 100% by weight of a material composed of a polar and non-polar hybrid component, and has a thickness of 0.1 to 30 μm.

A coating for an expandable portion of a catheter comprising a lipophilic matrix and a plurality of micro-reservoirs dispersed in the lipophilic matrix is disclosed. The plurality of micro-reservoirs comprises an active agent. A coating formulation and a method for forming the coating are also disclosed. A catheter comprising the coating on the expandable portion and a method for treating a condition are also provided.

Novel, lubricious coatings for medical devices are disclosed. The coatings provide improved lubricity and durability and are readily applied in coating processes a low temperatures that do not deform the device. The present invention is also directed to a novel platinum catalyst for use in such coatings. The catalyst provides for rapid curing, while inhibiting cross-linking at ambient temperatures, thereby improving the production pot life of the coatings.

Certain embodiments relate to a soft odor barrier material in a medical device. The soft odor barrier material includes an elastomer and an antiblocking agent. In certain forms, the antiblocking agent imparts an interior rough surface having an arithmetic mean surface roughness (Ra) not less than 0.1 μm. In certain forms, the antiblocking agent is non-blocking upon folding and packaging.

The compositions of the present invention comprise at least one medium polarity oil and at least one antibacterial agent, the combination of which produces a synergistic antibacterial effect against bacterial biofilms. Methods are disclosed for the reduction of bacteria in and/or elimination of bacterial biofilms on biological and non-biological surfaces, as well as methods for the treatment of wounds, skin lesions, mucous membrane lesions, and other biological surfaces infected or contaminated with bacterial biofilms.

The disclosure relates to methods of making an osteoconductive polymer article for use as an orthopedic implant comprises steps of forming an article from a biocompatible, non-biodegradable polymer, the article comprising a non-flat surface with roughness Ra of at least 5 μm; providing a dispersion of bioactive ceramic particles of particle size at most 10 μm in a first solvent comprising a solvent for the polymer; coating at least the non-flat surface with the dispersion in at least one step; and rinsing the coated article with a second solvent being a non-solvent for the polymer to substantially remove the first solvent.
