Patent number: 8221735Abstract: Embolic compositions comprising macromers having a backbone comprising a polymeric backbone comprising units with a 1,2-diol or 1,3-diol structure, such as polyvinyl alcohol, and pendant chains bearing crosslinkable groups and, optionally, other modifiers. When crosslinked, the macromers form hydrogels having many properties advantageous for use as embolic agents to block and fill lumens and spaces. The embolic compositions can be used as liquid embolic agents and crosslinked in situ or as preformed embolic articles, such as microspheres.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2009Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: BioCure, Inc.Inventors: Dennis W. Goupil, Hassan Chaouk, Troy Holland, Bruktawit T. Asfaw, Stephen D. Goodrich, Lucas Latini

Publication number: 20050129656Abstract: Compositions comprising macromers having a backbone comprising units having a 1,2-diol and/or 1,3-diol structure for tissue bulking and coating. Such polymers include poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and hydrolyzed copolymers of vinyl acetate, for example, copolymers with vinyl chloride, N-vinylpyrrolidone, etc. The backbone polymer contains pendant chains bearing crosslinkable groups and, optionally, other modifiers. When crosslinked, the macromers form hydrogels having many properties advantageous for use as agents to hulk and coat tissues.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2005Publication date: June 16, 2005Applicant: BioCure, Inc.Inventors: Dennis Goupil, Hassan Chaouk, Troy Holland, Bruktawit Asfaw, Stepehen Goodrich, Lucas Latini
