Patent number: 6605667Abstract: An adhesive composition includes a polymerizable adhesive monomer and at least one antioxidant stabilizer, and/or a container for storing said monomer composition that includes an antioxidant stabilizer. The antioxidant stabilizer provides superior stabilization and shelf-life of the composition and/or the container, and may enhance wound healing properties of the monomer composition.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2000Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignee: Closure Medical CorporationInventors: Ibraheem T. Badejo, Jaime Ayarza, Anthony Voiers, Roy F. Thompson, Jr., Gabriel N. Szabo, Robert V. Toni, William S. C. Nicholson

Patent number: 6579469Abstract: An adhesive composition that contains a preservative is particularly useful as a medical adhesive and can include alkyl cyanoacrylate monomers. The preservative is preferably soluble in the monomer. The composition may optionally be sterilized by placing a mixture of a polymerizable adhesive monomer and a preservative in a container, sealing the container, and sterilizing the mixture and the container.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1999Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Assignee: Closure Medical CorporationInventors: William S. C. Nicholson, Upvan Narang, Ubonwan A. Stewart, Daniel L. Hedgpeth, Ibraheem T. Badejo, Lawrence H. Mainwaring

Publication number: 20020119184Abstract: A sterile or non-sterile flavored monomeric adhesive composition includes a flavoring additive and a monomer. The composition can be applied, for example, to skin or the inside of the mouth. A method of making a sterile, flavored adhesive composition includes placing a mixture of a polymerizable adhesive monomer and a flavoring additive in a container, sealing the container, and sterilizing the mixture and the container. The flavored adhesive composition is particularly useful as a medical adhesive and can include 1,1-disubstituted ethylene monomers, such as &agr;-cyanoacrylates.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2002Publication date: August 29, 2002Applicant: Closure Medical CorporationInventors: William S.C. Nicholson, Upvan Narang
