Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure may include a pressure sensitive hydrogel composition. The composition may include a liquid solvent, a polymer, and an acid gas. The composition may be capable of having a fluid phase in which the acid gas is dissolved in the solvent and the polymer is dissolved in the solvent, and the composition may be capable of having a gel phase in which the acid gas is not dissolved in the liquid solvent and the polymer is precipitated out of the solvent. The composition may also include a chemical compound or a pharmaceutical agent that can be released after the composition is delivered to a target tissue region.

Abstract: A foamed biocompatible material for use in tissue repair and a kit for producing same. The kit includes a container having a valve and an inlet, and a tissue-repair composition containing a biocompatible material and a liquid carrier, in which the composition is placed in the inlet of the container and the inside of container has a pressure lower than that of the outside so that, upon opening the valve, the composition is forced into the container by the pressure difference to form a foam inside the container. Also disclosed is a method of preparing a foamed biocompatible material for tissue repair.
