  • Biocompatible polymers and adhesives: compositions, methods of making and uses related thereto
    Patent number: 7255874
    Abstract: Biocompatible polymers and adhesives have a cyanoacrylic core and other substituents such as therapeutic agents, targeting moieties, imaging agents, amino acid residues or other organic moieties. Exemplary uses of inventive compositions include use as sealants and adhesives for medical uses, and as polymeric formulations for biocompatible implants and matrices and drug delivery.

  • Sterilized cyanoacrylate solutions containing thickeners
    Patent number: 6743858
    Abstract: A method of making a sterile adhesive composition includes placing a mixture of a polymerizable adhesive monomer and a thickening agent in a container, sealing the container, and sterilizing the mixture and the container. The method provides superior viscosity for the monomer composition. An adhesive composition includes 2-octyl cyanoacrylate and at least one thickener. The sterile adhesive composition is particularly useful as a medical adhesive and can comprise 1,1-disubstituted ethylene monomers, such as &agr;-cyanoacrylates.

  • Absorbable mixture and coatings for surgical articles fabricated therefrom
    Patent number: 5716376
    Abstract: Absorbable mixtures are fabricated from a predominant component of fatty acid ester mixed with a copolymer comprising a predominant amount of epsilon-caprolactone and a minor amount of at least one other copolymerizable monomer of other bioabsorbable monomers. These mixtures are useful in forming coating for surgical articles, including multifilament sutures.
