  • Adhesion prevention with shear-thinning polymeric hydrogels
    Patent number: 11975123
    Abstract: A method of preventing tissue adhesion includes forming an incision in tissue, applying a hydrogel to tissue through the incision, and closing the incision with the hydrogel therein. The hydrogel includes a polymer non-covalently cross-linked with a plurality of nanoparticles and prevents a formation of adhesions between tissues and/or organs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 1, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2024
    Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University
    Inventors: Eric Andrew Appel, Y. Joseph Woo, Lyndsay Stapleton
  • Adhesion prevention with shear-thinning polymeric hydrogels
    Patent number: 11969526
    Abstract: A tissue adhesion prevention hydrogel is provided and engineered with essential features for maintaining separation between tissues and organs in any part of the body, thus preventing adhesion formation, are their shear-thinning, viscoelasticity, and rapid self-healing. A method of using the tissue adhesion prevention hydrogel for tissue adhesion prevention is also provided. A method of interposing the tissue adhesion prevention in between tissue layers for tissue adhesion prevention is further provided.
