  • IN SITU GELLING LIQUID EMBOLIC FORMULATIONS AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20240315703
    Abstract: A radiopaque embolic liquid may include two oppositely charged polyelectrolytes and a chaotropic salt in aqueous solution. Once delivered to a location containing a flow of lower osmolality medium, the polyelectrolytes can quickly undergo complex coacervation, precipitate as a hydrogel and can act as an embolic material. The resulting material is radiopaque i.e., visible in CT scan or radiographic imaging.

  • Absorbent pads and methods of manufacturing
    Patent number: 9976112
    Abstract: The embodiments disclosed herein relate to absorbent pads. The absorbent pads can be used as cleansing wipes, and can be used to clean various objects, including gloves, medical appliances, and elongate medical devices. The absorbent pads can include a polymer matrix and a reinforcement member. Methods of manufacturing the absorbent pads can include physically cross-linking a polymer solution or foam to form a cross-linked polymer matrix. One or more freeze-thaw cycles can be used to cross-link the polymer solution or foam.
