  • Forming a chemically cross-linked particle of a desired shape and diameter
    Patent number: 7507772
    Abstract: Chemically cross-linked polymeric particles are formed using mechanical rather than chemical processes, facilitating production of small-diameter particles in a manner largely independent of the viscosity or density of the polymer. For example, an uncross-linked resin may be provided in particulate form, agglomerated, and compressed into a mass of a desired shape with a desired diameter, and subsequently cross-linked.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 12, 2007
    Date of Patent: March 24, 2009
    Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.
    Inventors: Samuel P. Baldwin, Robert P. Skribiski

  • Processes for manufacturing polymeric microspheres
    Patent number: 7094369
    Abstract: Processes of manufacturing polymeric microspheres facilitate the generation of polymeric microspheres of size ranges smaller than 600 microns diameter by forming beads of a predetermined size from a starting material which may include a template polymer, and subsequently contacting the beads with a structural polymer. After crosslinking of the structural polymer has taken place, the template polymer may be removed to form the finished microspheres.
