Publication number: 20220041793Abstract: Provided are oriented biodegradable thermoplastic polyurethane films. The films may be prepared by extruding and drawing biodegradable polyurethane films. The polyurethanes may be prepared from biodegradable polyols and/or biodegradable chain extenders. The films possess high tensile strength yet are degradable under biological conditions. The films may be utilized in the fabrication of devices, particularly implantable medical devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2018Publication date: February 10, 2022Inventor: Timothy Graeme MOORE

Publication number: 20210100933Abstract: There are provided tissue repair laminates which promote cellular in-growth but also prevent or mitigate tissue adhesion. The laminates comprise a biodegradable polyurethane foam layer which facilitates cellular infiltration and a polyurethane barrier layer which is non-adhesive to tissue. The laminates resist shrinkage under in vivo conditions and possess desirable mechanical properties. The laminates find use in, for example, the repair of herniated tissue, particularly, but not limited to hernias in the abdominal wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2020Publication date: April 8, 2021Inventor: Timothy Graeme MOORE
-
Publication number: 20210069374Abstract: There is provided a soft tissue implant pocket which reduces the incidence of capsular contracture. The pocket is manufactured from a biodegradable, biocompatible polyurethane foam. The polyurethane contains biodegradable polyols and the foam has a pore size configured for cellular infiltration. The soft tissue implant pocket find use in, for example, breast augmentation and reconstruction.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2018Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Paul BRENNAN, Timothy Graeme MOORE
