Abstract: A method for use of a double-structured tissue implant or a secondary scaffold stand-alone implant for treatment of tissue defects. The double-structured tissue implant comprising a primary scaffold and a secondary scaffold consisting of a soluble collagen solution in combination with a non-ionic surfactant generated and positioned within the primary scaffold. A method of use of a stand-alone secondary scaffold implant or unit for treatment of tissue defects.

Abstract: Polymer gel networks loaded with biologically active solutes in a manner that solute activity is maintained and protected from thermal and/or chemical degradation while in the gel network are provided. The invention also provides for effects of modulating parameters for loading safe responsive gel networks using loading solutions containing phase separating polymers.

Abstract: Prazosin is formulated in solution with a akin permeation enhancer composition of: a sulfhydryl-containing compound, a fatty acid eater, and a polar solvent for transdermal administration to treat hypertension or benign prostatic hypertrophy. The formulation is employed in the form of a skin patch comprising (a) an impermeable backing layer, (b) a reservoir of the prazosin-enhancer solution, (c) a porous support member that retains the solution but is not a permeation barrier to the solution, a peripheral adhesive layer for affixing the patch to the skin, and a release liner layer.

Abstract: Matrix-type transdermal drug delivery devices for administering potent steroids such as ethinyl estradiol at a low flux steady-state rate over a multi-day period comprising a laminate of: (a) an occlusive backing layer and (b) a matrix layer of the drug completely dissolved at a loading of below 0.5% by weight in a 2-ethylhexyl acrylate copolymer.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided which increase the permeability of skin to transdermally administered pharmacologically active agents. The compositions are formulated with one or more vegetable oils as skin permeation enhancers; a preferred composition contains both coconut oil and soybean oil. Drug delivery systems for administering drugs transdermally in combination with the vegetable oil-based enhancer compositions are provided as well.

Abstract: Method and laminated composite for administering buprenorphine transdermally to treat pain. The composite comprises an impermeable backing layer and a reservoir layer containing buprenorphine and optionally a permeation enhancer combined with a pressure-sensitive adhesive with the amounts of buprenorphine and optional enhancer being sufficient to cause the buprenorphine to pass through the skin at a rate in excess of about 0.05 mcg/cm.sup.2 /hr.
