Abstract: Described herein are implantable composites, kits comprising the composites, implant devices comprising the composites, and methods of making and using same, including point of use methods.
Abstract: Disclosed herein are blends prepared from polyester terpolymers that function as pressure-sensitive adhesives. The disclosed articles comprise the terpolymer blends adhered to a release liner. The disclosed implant devices comprise the pressure-sensitive adhesive blend adhered to a surface thereof. The pressure-sensitive adhesive blend can promote adhesion of the implant device to a location in a subject.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are biocompatible and biodegradable polymers which are useful in tissue engineering; wound healing, coatings, and drug delivery, said polymers comprising one or more ECM-mimetic peptides and one or more biodegradable moieties, wherein the moieties do not comprise an amino acid or residue thereof. Further disclosed herein are methods for making and using the disclosed biocompatible polymers.
Abstract: Described herein are implant devices, kits comprising the implant devices, and methods of making and using the devices and kits. In one aspect, a plurality implant devices comprises at least two implants that exhibit a different release profile of a bioactive agent. In another aspect, an implant device comprises one or more adjoined polymer bodies, wherein at least two of the polymer bodies provide a different release profile of a bioactive agent. In another aspect, a kit comprises one or more disclosed implant devices. In another aspect, methods of delivering a bioactive agent to a subject comprise administering to the subject one or more disclosed implant devices.
