  • Method and apparatus to assist with removing an adhesive system
    Patent number: 9511536
    Abstract: Disclosed is an adhesive system that allows for a strong adhesion of a member to a surface, while also allowing for easy removal of the member after a prolonged period of attachment. A releasing agent can be included in an adhesive layer of the adhesive system. A heating system, such as an induction heating system, can be used to heat the releasing agent to activate it to assist in removing the adhesive system.
    Type: Grant

  • High viscosity liquid controlled delivery system and medical or surgical device
    Publication number: 20060210599
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel nonpolymeric compounds and compositions that form liquid, high viscosity materials suitable for the delivery of biologically active substances in a controlled fashion, and for use as medical or surgical devices. The materials can optionally be diluted with a solvent to form a material of lower viscosity, rendering the material easy to administer. This solvent may be water insoluble or water soluble, where the water soluble solvent rapidly diffuses or migrates away from the material in vivo, leaving a higher viscosity liquid material.

  • Adhesive including a releasing agent
    Publication number: 20040076817
    Abstract: An adhesive system that allows for a strong adhesion of a member to a surface, while also allowing for easy removal of the member after a prolonged period of attachment. The member may include a structural component or a film or appliqué that is applied for other purposes. The member is affixed to a substrate with an adhesive having a releasing agent or constituent. The releasing agent allows a substantially complete removal of the member and adhesive from the substrate. Also, the adhesive may be easily removed at a desired time in the future due to the application of a particular catalyst. Thus the releasing agent permits a substantially complete removal of both the member and the adhesive which bonds the member or component to the surface.
