  • Compositions and methods for altering the rate of hydrolysis of cured oil-based materials
    Patent number: 11097035
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is the correlation of chemical properties of oils with the physical properties of a resulting cured oil composition. Also disclosed are biocompatible materials and coatings for medical devices prepared using enriched oils and methods for enhancing or modifying the physical and chemical characteristics of cured oils by enriching such oils with fatty acid alkyl esters. Methods of tailoring the properties of biocompatible materials and coatings to deliver one or more therapeutic agents are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 7, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 24, 2021
    Assignee: ATRIUM MEDICAL CORPORATION
    Inventors: Keith M. Faucher, Theresa K. Albergo, Paul Martakos
  • Cured oil-hydrogel biomaterial compositions for controlled drug delivery
    Patent number: 10888617
    Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to materials, gels, coatings and films prepared using a biomaterial (e.g., a fatty acid-based material comprising a network of cross-linked fatty acids) and a fixating material, layer or film (e.g., a fixating material comprising Na-CMC). The materials, gels, coatings and films disclosed herein can be used to facilitate the delivery of one or more therapeutic agents to a targeted tissue and a desired rate of release.
