Biocompatible Fleece For Hemostasis And Tissue Engineering

US Patent:
2002018, Dec 12, 2002
Filed:
Feb 14, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/075355
Inventors:
Hildegard Kramer - Westport CT, US
Luis Avila - Arlington MA, US
C. Philbrook - Boston MA, US
Peter Jarrett - Sudbury MA, US
Barbara Huibregtse - Shrewsbury MA, US
Liesbeth Brown - West Newton MA, US

Edward Doherty - Mansfield MA, US
John Traverse - Somerville MA, US
Assignee:
Genzyme Corporation
International Classification:
A61K009/70, B29C043/10
US Classification:
424/443000, 424/423000, 264/571000
Abstract:
A porous, water-absorbing fleece is made from crosslinkable biocompatible and biodegradable macromers. A solution of the macromers is frozen and vacuum-dried through lyophilization. The “fleece” formed by lyophilization is then crosslinked, for example by heat and/or an initiator of crosslinking. The resulting crosslinked material is highly water absorbent, readily swelling to at least its size before lyophilization, but retains macroporosity as well as the microporosity of a gel. Porosity and strength of the fleece can be controlled by initial polymer concentration and extent of crosslinking. The fleece materials can be used in different embodiments for applications in medicine and tissue engineering.

Methods And Products Useful In The Formation And Isolation Of Microparticles

US Patent:
2003014, Aug 7, 2003
Filed:
Dec 10, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/316128
Inventors:
Michael Bassett - Providence RI, US
Jules Jacob - Taunton MA, US
David Enscore - Sudbury MA, US
Assignee:
Spherics, Inc. - Lincoln RI
International Classification:
A61K009/16, A61K009/50, B01J013/02, B01J013/04
US Classification:
424/490000, 424/491000, 424/492000, 264/004100
Abstract:
A process for preparing nanoparticles, microparticles and nanoencapsulated products using the PIN process is provided. The invention involves using additives to reduce the aggregation or coalescence of the PIN nanoparticles, microparticles, or nanoencapsulated products during their formation and collection and to facilitate the recovery of said nanoparticles, microparticles, or nanoencapsulated products.
