  • Patent number: 10828387
    Abstract: A method of sealing a durotomy from which cerebrospinal fluid is leaking. A durotomy sealant dressing is prepared by applying an active agent to a dextran base. The durotomy sealant dressing is applied to a durotomy. At least a portion of the durotomy sealant dressing dissolves. The durotomy is sealed with the dissolved durotomy sealant dressing to substantially prevent cerebrospinal fluid from flowing through the durotomy.

  • Patent number: 10756298
    Abstract: An OLED device comprising a substrate with a top surface; a first electrode covering the top surface of the substrate; a first insulating structure patterned over a portion of the first electrode where the pattern defines an inside area of the first electrode that is completely surrounded by the insulating structure, and an outside area of the first electrode not covered by the insulating structure; at least one organic layer for light emission within the inside area defined by the insulating structure; a second electrode over the at least one organic layer within the inside area defined by the insulating structure and at least partially over the first insulating structure; a cover slip located at least over the second electrode in the inside area defined by the insulating structure; and an electrically conductive solder seal making a hermetic seal between the insulating structure and the cover slip where the solder seal is in electrical contact with the second electrode.

  • Publication number: 20200215223
    Abstract: A surgical joint replacement kit including a first joint replacement component and a surgical sealant. The first joint replacement component is capable of being implanted to replace a joint between a first bone and a second bone. The first bone is cut in conjunction with implanting the first joint replacement component. Cutting the first bone causes a bodily fluid to flow from the first bone. The surgical sealant includes an electrospun dextran base and an effective amount of at least one of fibrinogen and thrombin. The at least one of fibrinogen and thrombin is applied to the electrospun dextran base to form the surgical sealant. The surgical sealant is capable of staunching the flow of the bodily fluid from the first bone.

  • Publication number: 20190388516
    Abstract: A hemostatic product that includes a dry fibrinogen mixture, a dry thrombin mixture and a biologically tolerable liquid. The dry fibrinogen mixture includes fibrinogen and at least one fibrinogen stabilizer. The dry thrombin mixture includes thrombin and at least one thrombin stabilizer. The biologically tolerable liquid is mixed with the dry fibrinogen mixture and the dry thrombin mixture to form the hemostatic product.

  • Publication number: 20180361012
    Abstract: A method of forming a hemostatic product. A solution is formed with a polymeric material. An electrospinning system is provided having a first nozzle and a second nozzle. The polymeric material solution is passed through the first nozzle and a hemostatic agent is passed through the second nozzle to form an electrospun fiber in which the polymeric material at least partially covers the hemostatic agent. The electrospun fiber is deposited on a support to form the hemostatic product.

  • Publication number: 20160193381
    Abstract: A method of forming a hemostatic product. A porous base is prepared that is capable of substantially dissolving when applied to a bleeding wound. A hemostatic agent is mixed with at least one salt to prepare a hemostatic mixture. The hemostatic mixture is dispersed on the porous base to form the hemostatic product.

  • Patent number: 5996792
    Abstract: A lens tray includes a support panel having an array of sockets. Each of the sockets has a first wall defining a first opening and a second wall defining a second opening, a retaining wall adjacent to the first wall and a flange having a first surface forming a lens seat. The first surface is located adjacent to the retaining wall. At least one of the openings has an inner aperture and an outer aperture. The outer aperture is greater in size than the inner aperture.
