Abstract: Methods for removing a biomaterial implant and reversing occlusive effects of the biomaterial implant are described. In particular, methods for performing removal of biomaterial implants without damage to a body lumen where the biomaterial was previously implanted are presented. More specifically, methods of reversing an implant within a vas deferens are described.

Abstract: Described are methods for reversible occlusion of a body lumen by way of degradation as a result of exposure to one or more stimuli such as light. The methods include administering one or more substance(s) into a body lumen of a subject and forming a stimuli-responsive polymer mass in the body lumen from the one or more substance(s). The mass is sufficient to occlude the body lumen in a manner that prevents transport of at least one material through the body lumen and is susceptible to on-command reversal in the body lumen upon exposure to one or more stimuli. The methods include administering one or more stimuli to a polymer mass in a body lumen for a time and intensity to cause the reverse the polymer mass. The methods are particular useful for applications in which it is desirable to temporarily occlude a body lumen, such as male and female contraception.

Abstract: Delivery systems and methods for forming and delivering biomaterials from two components are described herein. In particular, apparatus and methods for performing controlled delivery of multicomponent delivery of biomaterials into or onto a body part, such as a body lumen are described. More specifically, in some embodiments, the apparatus and methods are directed towards controlled delivery of micro-volumes of biomaterials into or onto a target location, the micro-volumes being defined as 0.001 mL-1 mL (or 1 ?L-1,000 ?L) of volume.

Abstract: Delivery systems, compositions, and methods for forming and delivering biomaterials from two components are described. Specifically, a composition includes a first component and a second component that are each formulated to be crosslinked with the other to form a hydrogel. The first component and the second component are formulated to have an initial storage modulus (initial G) and an initial loss modulus (initial G?) when initially combined such that a ratio of the initial G? to the initial G is between about 5 and about 100. The first component and the second component are formulated to have a gelation storage modulus (gelation G) and a gelation loss modulus (gelation G?) at a gelation time after the first component and the second component are combined such that a atio of the gelation G? to the gelation G is less than about 1. The gelation time is less than about 120 seconds.
