  • Biodegradable polymeric endoluminal sealing process, apparatus and polymeric products for use therein
    Patent number: 6699272
    Abstract: A novel process for paving or sealing the interior surface of a tissue lumen by entering the interior of the tissue lumen and applying a polymer to the interior surface of the tissue lumen. This is accomplished using a catheter which delivers the polymer to the tissue lumen and causes it to conform to the interior surface of the lumen. The polymer can be delivered to the lumen as a monomer or prepolymer solution, or as an at least partially preformed layer on an expansile member.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 13, 2001
    Date of Patent: March 2, 2004
    Assignee: Endoluminal Therapeutics, Inc.
    Inventors: Marvin J. Slepian, Anton Schindler

  • Porous bioabsorbable polyesters
    Patent number: 4702917
    Abstract: Polylactones blended with a polyether and then shaped are leached with aqueous solution of an organic solvent such as alcohol or acetone to elute selectively the polyether and form interconnected pores within the shaped polylactone. The result is a shaped article suitable for use a reservoir for the controlled release of high molecular weight drugs.
