Abstract: Systems and methods related to polymer foams are generally described. Some embodiments relate to compositions and methods for the preparation of polymer foams, and methods for using the polymer foams. The polymer foams can be applied to a body cavity and placed in contact with, for example, tissue, injured tissue, internal organs, etc. In some embodiments, the polymer foams can be formed within a body cavity (i.e., in situ foam formation). In addition, the foamed polymers may be capable of exerting a pressure on an internal surface of a body cavity and preventing or limiting movement of a bodily fluid (e.g., blood, etc.).

Abstract: Systems, methods and kits relating to in-situ forming polymer foams for the treatment of aneurysms or fluid filled spaces are disclosed. The systems include an insertable medical device and an in-situ forming foam of lava like materials with a fast forming outer skin and a slower hardening interior that is formed from a one-, two- or multi-part formulation. When used to treat an aneurysm, the foam is placed into contact with at least a portion of an exterior surface of the medical device and/or the tissue surface of the aneurysm.

Abstract: Systems, methods and kits for treating hemorrhages within cavities are provided. The methods utilize the application of a rapid spike of pressure to the closed cavity, followed by a steady state pressure or pressures.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to systems and methods and systems for generating polymer foams within body cavities to locate and/or control bleeding. The present invention further relates to methods and systems for generating polymer foams within non-compressible wounds to control or stop bleeding. The present invention further relates to the use of foams and gels for medical and cosmetic purposes.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the treatment of pelvic and junctional hemorrhage are provided, which utilize in situ forming polymer gels and foams to apply pressure to sites of hemorrhage due to penetrating or blunt injury, among other things.

Abstract: Systems and method for treating aneurysms are provided which utilize formulations that form polymer foams in situ. The formulations generally have a buoyancy greater than or less than blood, and either float to the top of the aneurysm and foam from the top down or sink to the bottom and foam from the bottom up.
