Assignee:
Omeros Corporation - Seattle WA
International Classification:
A61M 3100
US Classification:
604 49, 604500, 514654
Abstract:
A method and solution for perioperatively inhibiting a variety of pain and inflammation processes at wounds from general surgical procedures including oral/dental procedures. The solution preferably includes multiple pain and inflammation inhibitory at dilute concentration in a physiologic carrier, such as saline or lactated Ringers solution.

Abstract:
In one aspect, the invention provides methods of inhibiting the effects of MASP-2-dependent complement activation in a living subject. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods of treating a subject suffering from a complement mediated coagulation disorder, such as disseminated intravascular coagulation. The methods comprise the step of administering, to a subject in need thereof, an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation. In some embodiments, the MASP-2 inhibitory agent inhibits cellular injury associated with MASP-2-mediated alternative complement pathway activation, while leaving the classical (C1q-dependent) pathway component of the immune system intact. In another aspect, the invention provides compositions for inhibiting the effects of lectin-dependent complement activation, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Abstract:
A medical fastener (), preferably bioabsorbable, is used for repairing torn soft tissue, particularly meniscal tissue (). The fastener () can have an enlarged head () at the proximate end to engage meniscal tissue () adjacent to a tear (), and a pointed distal tip () at the other end to ease insertion of the fastener () into the meniscus (). The shank () of the fastener () bridges across the tear (). Opposite ends of the shank () are secured in the meniscal tissue () by a medical adhesive, preferably bioabsorbable, and preferably at locations remote from the tear () so as not to interfere with healing of the tear (). The fastener () can have a blind bore () opening through the head () of the fastener () and extending through the shank () to a location close to the tip () and generally radial holes () communicating between the bore () and the exterior of the shank (). The medical adhesive can be injected through the bore () for passage outward through the holes ().
