Publication number: 20060110457Abstract: A method of curing and corresponding resulting non-polymeric cross-linked gel are provided. The cross-linked gel can be combined with a medical device structure. The cross-linked gel can provide anti-adhesion characteristics, in addition to improved healing and anti-inflammatory response. The cross-linked gel 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 derived from at least one fatty acid compound. In addition, the oil composition can include a therapeutic agent component, such as a drug or other bioactive agent. The curing method can vary the application of heat in both temperature and duration to achieve a desired amount of cross-linking forming the gel.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2005Publication date: May 25, 2006Applicant: ATRIUM MEDICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Roger Labrecque, Philip McNamara, Joseph Ferraro, Lisa Rogers, Paul Martakos, Theodore Karwoski, Steve Herweck, Keith Faucher, Thomas Swanick

Publication number: 20060088596Abstract: A method for the provision of a coating on an implantable medical device results in a medical device having a bio-absorbable coating. The coating includes a bio-absorbable carrier component. In addition to the bio-absorbable carrier component, a dissolved therapeutic agent component can also be provided. The coated medical device is implantable in a patient to effect controlled delivery of the coating, including the dissolved therapeutic agent, to the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2005Publication date: April 27, 2006Applicant: ATRIUM MEDICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Roger Labrecque, Geoffrey Moodie, Lisa Rogers, Joseph Ferraro, Theodore Karwoski, Steve Herweck, Paul Martakos

Publication number: 20060067975Abstract: A method of UV curing and corresponding resulting non-polymeric cross-linked gel are provided. The cross-linked gel can be combined with a medical device structure. The cross-linked gel can provide anti-adhesion characteristics, in addition to improved healing and anti-inflammatory response. The cross-linked gel 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 derived from at least one fatty acid compound. In addition, the oil composition can include a therapeutic agent component, such as a drug or other bioactive agent. The curing method can vary the application of UV light in both intensity and duration to achieve a desired amount of cross-linking forming the gel.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2005Publication date: March 30, 2006Applicant: ATRIUM MEDICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Roger Labrecque, Philip McNamara, Joseph Ferraro, Lisa Rogers, Paul Martakos, Theodore Karwoski, Steve Herweck, Keith Faucher, Thomas Swanick

Publication number: 20060067977Abstract: A method and apparatus for the provision of a coating for application to a medical device results in a medical device having a bio-absorbable coating. The coating includes a bio-absorbable carrier component. In addition to the bio-absorbable carrier component, a therapeutic agent component and solvent can also be provided. The solvent is removed from the coating before the coating is applied to the medical device. The coated medical device is implantable in a patient to effect controlled delivery of the coating, including the therapeutic agent, to the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2005Publication date: March 30, 2006Applicant: ATRIUM MEDICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Roger Labrecque, Geoffrey Moodie, Joseph Ferraro, Lisa Rogers, Paul Martakos, Theodore Karwoski, Steve Herweck, Suzanne Conroy, Brian Sunter, Georgette Henrich

Publication number: 20060067983Abstract: A stand-alone film is derived at least in part from fatty acids. The stand-alone film can have anti-adhesive, anti-inflammatory, non-inflammatory, and wound healing properties, and can additionally include one or more therapeutic agents incorporated therein. Corresponding methods of making the stand-alone film include molding, casting, or otherwise applying a liquid or gel to a substrate, and curing or otherwise treating to form the stand-alone film. The resulting stand-alone film is bioabsorbable.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2005Publication date: March 30, 2006Applicant: ATRIUM MEDICAL CORPORATIONInventors: Thomas Swanick, Joseph Ferraro, Paul Martakos, Lisa Rogers, Theodore Karwoski, Steve Herweck, Keith Faucher, Philip McNamara

Publication number: 20050112228Abstract: Apparatus and method for filling spaced apart cavities with particulate material include a transport for moving the cavities along a path of travel. The cavities are partially filled with particulate material at an upstream location while applying vacuum underneath each cavity during such partial filling. The partially filled cavities are then completely filled with a downstream deposit of particulate material while applying vacuum to the upper sides of each cavity during such filling. The combination of vacuum applied underneath the cavity during partial fill and vacuum applied to the top sides of the cavity during complete fill produces approximately 100% cavity fill with minimal extraneous scatter of particulate material.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2004Publication date: May 26, 2005Applicant: Philip Morris USA Inc.Inventors: Barry Smith, Steve Spiers, Jeremy Straight, Janet Thompson, Ahmet Ercelebi, Martin Garthaffner, Lisa Rogers
