Sindhu Gopalan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Wound care polymer compositions and methods for use thereof
    Publication number: 20060188486
    Abstract: The present invention provides wound healing or wound care polymer compositions that can be formulated to release a wound healing agent at a controlled rate by adjusting the various components of the composition. The compositiona can be used in an external wound dressing, as a polymer implant for delivery of the wound healing agent to an internal body site, or as a coating on the surface of an implantable surgical device to deliver wound healing agents that are dispersed in a biodegradable polymer or hydrogel, or both. Methods of using the invention bioactive polymer compositions to deliver wound healing agents that promote natural healing of wounds, especially chronic wounds, are also provided.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 1, 2006

The composition can be used in an external wound dressing, as a polymer implant for delivery of the wound healing agent to an internal body site, or as a coating on the surface of an implantable surgical device to deliver wound healing agents that are covalently attached to a biocompatible, biodegradable polymer and/or embedded within a hydrogel. Methods of using the invention bioactive polymer compositions to promote natural healing of wounds, especially chronic wounds, are also provided.
