  • Patent number: 7902303
    Abstract: An aliphatic polyester polymer compositions and preparation method thereof. The invention provides a bioresorbable aliphatic polyester copolymer, comprising the reaction product of a first polyester, a second polyester, and a coupling agent. Specifically, the first polyester and second polyester have the same repeat units, but different weight average molecular weights. Methods for preparing the aliphatic polyester copolymer are provided, in which the first polyester reacts with the second polyester in the presence of the coupling agent, undergoing copolymerization.

  • Patent number: 6852255
    Abstract: This invention is concerned with a method for producing water-insoluble polysaccharides. A method for making the water-insoluble bio-compatible gel includes activating the hydroxyl-containing polysaccharides with the activating agent to form activated polysaccharides, and cross-linking the activated polysaccharides, under moderate conditions producing different shapes of the water-insoluble bio-compatible gel. The water-insoluble bio-compatible gels, films, porosities, powders, sheets, fibers and spheres of this invention may be applied to various medical and cosmetic uses.

  • Publication number: 20040099979
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for preparing a porous material having interconnected pores. One or more kinds of bioresorbable polymers and a low molecular weight oligomer are dissolved in an organic solvent to form a bioresorbable polymer solution. The bioresorbable polymer solution is then exposed to a coagulant to form a porous material. The low molecular weight oligomer is soluble in the coagulant, and the bioresorbable polymer is insoluble in the coagulant.

  • Publication number: 20030176876
    Abstract: A multi-channel bioresorbable nerve regeneration conduit and a process for preparing the conduit. The multi-channel bioresorbable nerve regeneration conduit includes a hollow round tube of a porous bioresorbable polymer and a multi-channel filler in the round tube. The multi-channel filler is a porous bioresorbable polymer film with an uneven surface and is single layer, multiple layer, in a folded form, or wound into a spiral shape.

  • Publication number: 20030146532
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for preparing a porous bioresorbable material having interconnected pores. A bioresorbable polymer and a low molecular weight oligomer are dissolved in an organic solvent to form a bioresorbable polymer solution. The bioresorbable polymer has a molecular weight greater than 20,000 and the oligomer has a molecular weight of 200 to 4000. The bioresorbable polymer solution is then contacted with a coagulant to form a porous bioresorbable material.
