  • Patent number: 9326934
    Abstract: Compositions are disclosed that afford drug delivery from two-part polymer compositions that rapidly form covalent linkages when mixed together. Such compositions are particularly well suited for use in a variety of tissue related applications when rapid adhesion to the tissue and gel formation is desired along with drug delivery. For example, the compositions are useful as tissue sealants, in promoting hemostasis, in effecting tissue adhesion, in providing tissue augmentation, and in the prevention of surgical adhesions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 1, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 3, 2016

  • Publication number: 20040219214
    Abstract: A composition comprising a synthetic polymer, optionally in the presence of a drug, where the polymer comprises multiple activated groups. The multiple activated groups are reactive with functionality present on animal tissue, so that upon administration of the polymer to the tissue, the polymer binds to the tissue. Alternatively, the multiple activated groups are reactive with functionality present on a non-living surface, where the polymer binds to this surface to, e.g., increase the lubricity of the surface. When drug is present in the composition, the drug is then delivered to the site of polymer attachment.
