Patent number: 10869902Abstract: A cured non-polymeric gel including a plurality of non-polymeric cross-links. The non-polymeric cross-links result from curing an oil or oil composition at selected curing conditions to achieve a desired amount of cross-linking to form the non-polymeric gel. The desired amount of cross-linking is selected based on a desired rate of degradation of the gel after the gel is implanted. The oil or oil composition comprises one or more of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), or alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2017Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: ATRIUM MEDICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Roger Labrecque, Philip McNamara, Joseph Ferraro, Lisa Rogers, Paul Martakos, Theodore Karwoski, Steve A.

Patent number: 10792312Abstract: A barrier layer and corresponding method of making provide anti-inflammatory, non-inflammatory, and anti-adhesion functionality for a medical device implantable in a patient. The barrier layer can be combined with a medical device structure to provide anti-adhesion characteristics, in addition to improved healing, non-inflammatory, and anti-inflammatory response. The barrier layer is generally formed of a naturally occurring oil, or an oil composition formed in part of a naturally occurring oil, that is at least partially cured forming a cross-linked gel. In addition, the oil composition can include a therapeutic agent component, such as a drug or other bioactive agent.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2017Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: ATRIUM MEDICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Joseph Ferraro, Lisa Rogers, Paul Martakos, Theodore Karwoski, Steve Herweck, Keith Faucher, Phillip McNamara
