Abstract: A surgical system including an implantable medical device having a size and shape. The surgical device having a substrate and a coating that covers at least a portion of the substrate. The coating includes a polymer, collagen, glycerin and a hemostatic agent. The polymer is selected from the group of polyhydroxybutyrate, polyglycerol sebacate and adducts of polyglycerol sebacate. The substrate including a first piece and a second piece that is joined with the first piece. The first piece and the second piece forming a pocket having a cavity and an opening that is in communication with the cavity. The device being pre-formed such that a size and shape of the cavity conforms to the size and shape of the implantable medical device.

Abstract: A method for preparing tyrosine derived polyarylates includes combining a desaminotyrosyl-tyrosine ethyl ester, a desaminotyrosyl-tyrosine benzylester, succinic acid and a catalyst in a flask to produce a first mixture. Methylene chloride is added to the first mixture to produce a first suspension. Diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIPC) is added to the first mixture to produce a first solution. The first solution is added to a non-solvent to produce a precipitate. The precipitate is dissolved in methylene chloride to form a polymer solution. The polymer solution is blended with a slurry to produce polymer shreds. The polymer shreds are blended with a second slurry to produce a tyrosine derived polyarylate.

Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a body extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite proximal and distal end surfaces. The distal end surface includes a first cavity and a second cavity. The first cavity includes a first light bulb disposed therein. The second cavity includes a second light bulb disposed therein. A shaft includes opposite proximal and distal ends. The proximal end is coupled to the body. A blade is coupled to the distal end. The first light bulb is an ultraviolet (UV) light bulb and the second light bulb is configured to emit visible light. Systems and methods of use are disclosed.

Abstract: A kit includes a mesh substrate and a polymer that is fixed to the mesh substrate. The polymer includes an active agent that is configured to elute over time. The kit further includes a hemostatic agent. The hemostatic agent is separate from the mesh substrate and the polymer. Systems and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A medical implant fixation device including a non-bioresorbable material sized and configured to one from the group consisting of receive and surround the medical implant and be affixed to a surface of the medical implant. A plurality of bioresorbable fixation projections extend from the non-bioresorbable material and at least one from the group consisting of the plurality of bioresorbable fixation projections and the non-bioresorbable material are coated with at least one anti-infection drug.
