Patent number: 10744233Abstract: Inventive concepts relate generally to the field of implantable urological devices, and more particularly to compositions that inhibit crystallization of urine components. Described are implantable urological devices including a surface and a crystallization inhibitor composition, the crystallization inhibitor composition including: (a) an inhibitor of urine component crystallization in combination with a biodegradable polymer, or a polyalkene homopolymer or copolymer, or (b) a biodegradable polymer that includes an inhibitor of urine component crystallization, wherein the crystallization inhibitor composition provides controlled release of the inhibitor of urine component crystallization from the surface of the device into a subject. Methods of making the implantable urological devices are also described.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2017Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Innovative Surface Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Kristin Taton

Patent number: 10266620Abstract: The invention describes novel coating agents that include a polymer, one or more latent reactive groups and one or more noncovalent linking groups, the noncovalent linking groups selected to interact with a substrate to which the coating agent is applied. The coating agents are useful for providing a coating that can be further functionalized (for example, by application of additional coating layers), or for providing desirable properties to a surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2016Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Innovative Surface Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jie Wen, Kristin Taton, Laurie Lawin, William Knopke, Eric Guire, Patrick Guire

Patent number: 10098989Abstract: The present disclosure relates to multilayer coatings that include a hydrophobic encasing layer and allow controlled release of a water soluble drug. The encasing layer encases water soluble, or hydrophilic, drugs with a flexible layer and comes in good intimate contact with the water soluble drug layer. Thus, the encasing layer conforms to the water soluble drug and can control the release of the drug. Advantageously, major cuts or fissures in the coating do not cause the water soluble drug to leak or burst out; rather, the encasing layer continues to provide modulated release of the drug. The present disclosure also includes methods of making the multilayer coatings, methods of using the multilayer coatings, and articles that include the multilayer coatings.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2017Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: INNOVATIVE SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Kristin Taton, Laurie Lawin, Patrick Guire
