  • Implantable polymer for bone and vascular lesions
    Patent number: 11850323
    Abstract: A solidifying prepolymeric implant composition comprising a biocompatible prepolymer and an optional filler. One such implant composition is a polyurethane implant composition comprising an isocyanate, such as hydroxymethylenediisocyanate (HMDI) and an alcohol, such as polycaprolactonediol (PCL diol). The compositions of the invention are useful for improving bone structure in patients by applying the solidifying implant composition to bone, reinforcing bone structure, improving load bearing capacity and/or aiding healing of microfractures.

  • Novel amphiphilic polymeric materials
    Publication number: 20030144458
    Abstract: The invention is based in part on the discovery of polymers that can complex with certain types of therapeutic drugs and transport those drugs across cell membranes in cell cultures with demonstrable therapeutic activity. The polymers are designed to overcome some of the known problems of liposomes as drug carriers. The polymers can be used in the development of physiologically stable, non-leaking, non-immunogenic, efficacious and safe targetable drug delivery systems (e.g., for delivery of anti-HIV or anticancer drugs).
