Patent number: 11938250Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include coatings comprising an oligomerized polyphenol layer. The oligomerized polyphenol layer can be used as an intermediate coated layer on a medical device that hydrogen bonds to a synthetic or natural polymer, which in turn can be used as a top coat or further associated with another coated layer. The multilayered coatings can provide properties such as hemocompatibility or lubricity. In other embodiments, the oligomerized polyphenol layer is used on a medical device as a hemostatic layer configured to contact blood and promote coagulation. The oligomerized polyphenol layer can also be used on the inner surface (e.g., inner diameter) of a medical device to prevent bacterial adherence. The oligomerized polyphenol layer can also be used on the surface of a in vitro diagnostic article, or a cell culture device to, promote adsorption of a biological molecule.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Surmodics, Inc.Inventors: David E. Babcock, Sean Lundquist, Gary Opperman, Adriyn Torguson, Tim Jentz

Publication number: 20230338622Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include drug delivery coatings and devices including the same. In an embodiment, the invention includes a drug delivery coating including a polymeric layer. The polymeric layer can include a hydrophilic outer surface. The coating can also include a matrix contacting the hydrophilic outer surface. The matrix can include a particulate hydrophobic therapeutic agent and a cationic agent. The polymeric layer can further include a hydrophilic polymer having pendent photoreactive groups and a photo-crosslinker including two aryl ketone functionalities. Other embodiments are also included herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2022Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Joram Slager, Toni M. Heyer, David E. Babcock

Patent number: 11298451Abstract: A hemodialysis vascular access device includes a proximal end sized and shaped to sealably couple to a hemodialysis catheter, a movable structure coupled to the proximal end, a fixation structure coupled to the movable region and sized and shaped for fixation on a patient, an elongated sleeve coupled to the fixation structure and sized and shaped for insertion into a patient's vasculature, and a valve at a distal end of the internal lumen. When a hemodialysis catheter is inserted into the device and coupled to the proximal end, distal movement of the proximal end relative to the fixation structure biases a distal end of the hemodialysis catheter from a position inside the elongated sleeve through a valve out of the device and into the patient's blood.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Surmodics, Inc.Inventors: Joram Slager, Joe McGonigle, Anh Tri La, David E.

Patent number: 11174447Abstract: Embodiments herein include coated medical devices and coatings with salt groups. In an embodiment, a coated medical device is included, the coated medical device including a substrate and a polymeric layer disposed over the substrate. The polymeric layer includes a polymer and has an exterior surface. The coated medical device further includes a plurality of salt groups bonded to the polymer of the polymeric layer and disposed on the exterior surface of the polymeric layer. The salt groups can be the reaction product of a reactive group with an acid or base. In an embodiment, a method of making a medical device is included. Other embodiments are also included herein.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2019Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Surmodics, Inc.Inventors: David E. Babcock, Joram Slager, Robert W. Hergenrother

Publication number: 20210260255Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include lubricious coatings. In an embodiment the disclosure includes a lubricious coating for a medical device including first and second coated layers. The first coated layer is between the second coated layer and the device surface and includes a vinyl pyrrolidone polymer and a photo reactive group. The second coated layer is in direct contact with the first coated layer and is a top coating that includes an acrylic acid polymer. The second coated layer can optionally include photoreactive groups. The coating was found to have a very low number of particulates (e.g., 10 ?m or greater) which is very desirable for in vivo use.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2021Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventors: David E. Babcock, Timothy M. Kloke, Joseph S. McGonigle
