  • Biodegradable and/or bioabsorbable fibrous articles and methods for using the articles for medical applications
    Patent number: 7172765
    Abstract: Biodegradable and/or bioabsorable fibrous articles and methods for using the articles in medical applications are disclosed. The biodegradable and/or bioabsorable fibrous articles, which are formed by elctrospinning fibers of biodegradable and/or bioabsorbable fiberizable material, comprise a composite (or asymmetric composite) of different biodegradable and/or bioabsorbable fibers. Articles having specific medical uses include an adhesion-reducing barrier and a controlled delivery system. The methods include methods for reducing surgical adhesions, controlled delivery of a medicinal agent and providing controlled tissue healing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2003
    Date of Patent: February 6, 2007
    Assignee: The Research Foundation of State University of New York
    Inventors: Benjamin Chu, Benjamin S. Hsiao, Dufei Fang, Collin Brathwaite
