Publication number: 20060134216Abstract: Dry, enteric, film-coating compositions and aqueous dispersions containing the same are disclosed. When applied to orally-ingestible substrates such as oral solid dosage forms, the film coatings are capable of preventing the substrates from disintegrating in media with pH values from about 1 to about 4.5 or higher values. One preferred film-coating composition contains a micronized intermediate comprised of an acrylic resin and talc. Advantageously and surprisingly, the preferred film-coating composition does not contain an alkalizing agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2005Publication date: June 22, 2006Inventors: Thomas Farrell, Kurt Fegely, Ali Rajabi-Siahboomi, George Reyes, Budhi Simon, Cara Young

Patent number: 5494039Abstract: A biopsy needle insertion guide and method of use with an ultrasound probe in medical procedures to accurately position biopsy needles in internal tissues. The insertion guide comprises a body which is removably mountable on an ultrasound probe and which comprises a clamp affixable about the probe and an elongated adjustment guide extending from the clamp in a direction perpendicular to the probe. A slide block engages the adjustment guide and is slidably adjustable therealong and a biopsy needle holder and guide assembly is carried by the slide block and is adjustably extendable from the slide block in a direction parallel to the probe. A method of use is described wherein the insertion guide is used to accurately place biopsy needles in a human prostate, the needles being then used to accurately place cryoprobes in the prostate for cryogenic surgery of the gland.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 1993Date of Patent: February 27, 1996Assignee: Cryomedical Sciences, Inc.Inventors: Gary Onik, George Reyes, Larry Pottorff, Jeffrey Cohen

Patent number: 5437673Abstract: The present invention is directed to a closed circulation tissue warming apparatus for use during surgery to maintain the temperature of tissues at a desired level and to a method of using the apparatus in prostate surgery particularly during transperineal cryoablation of the prostate gland in human males to maintain the temperature of the urethral tissues and thereby prevent urethral sloughing. It may also have utility where it is desired to lower the temperature of surrounding tissues, such as during laser ablation. The apparatus includes a multi-lumen catheter inserted into the urethra and connected to a fluid warming and circulation control means whereby warmed water is circulated through the lumens at a controlled flow rate and temperature. The concentric lumen structure of the catheter provides improved flow and even temperature maintenance along the length of the catheter and the urethra.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1993Date of Patent: August 1, 1995Assignee: Cryomedical Sciences, Inc.Inventors: John G. Baust, Zhao H. Chang, Jeffrey Cohen, Gary Onik, George Reyes
