  • Medical devices including functionalized polymers and related methods
    Patent number: 11883566
    Abstract: Medical devices that are formed from a polymeric matrix including a first polymer and a functionalized polymer are provided. The medical devices may include a functionalized polymer such as maleic anhydride functionalized polymer. The burst strength and/or the hoop strength of the medical devices including the functionalized polymer may be greater than the burst strength and/or the hoop strength of control medical devices. However, the durometer of the medical devices may be substantially equal to the durometer of the control medical devices. Methods of manufacturing medical devices including a functionalized polymer are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 16, 2022
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2024
    Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and Company
    Inventors: Todd McFarland, James Freasier, Aaron Francis, Colton Jackson
