Inventors:
Anthony M. Lowman - Wallingford PA, US
Michele S. Marcolongo - Aston PA, US
Alastair J. T. Clemow - Princeton NJ, US
Assignee:
Synthes USA, LLC - West Chester PA
Drexel University - Philadelphia PA
International Classification:
A61K 49/04
A61F 13/00
A61F 2/00
A61K 31/74
A61M 31/00
US Classification:
424 94, 424422, 424423, 424424, 424425, 424426, 424 7808, 424 7817, 604502
Abstract:
Thermogelling polymers are described containing poly (n-isopropyl acrylamide). Solutions of this polymer, copolymers or mixtures of the polymer with a second polymer such as poly(ethylene glycol), poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) or poly(vinyl alcohol) are liquids at room temperature and solids at body temperature. Thus, also provided are methods of implanting a hydrogel into a mammal by injecting the solution as a liquid at a temperature below body temperature into a selected site in the mammal at a temperature below body temperature, which then undergoes thermal phase transition to form a solid hydrogel in situ in the body as the implant warms to body temperature. Methods for using these thermal gelling materials in various applications including nucleus pulposus replacement/augmentation, wound care, disk replacement, cartilage replacement, joint replacement, surgical barriers, gastrointestinal devices, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, and breast enlargement are also provided.

Hydrogel Balloon Prosthesis For Nucleus Pulposus

View page
US Patent:
8287595, Oct 16, 2012
Filed:
Aug 25, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/510747
Inventors:
Edward Vresilovic - Ardmore PA, US
Michele S. Marcolongo - Aston PA, US
Anthony M. Lowman - Wallingford PA, US
Alastair J. T. Clemow - Princeton NJ, US
Michael F. Keane - Downington PA, US
Assignee:
Synthes USA, LLC - West Chester PA
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1712, 623 1711, 623 1716, 606279
Abstract:
A prosthesis for replacing or supplementing a nucleus pulposus of an intervertebral disk is an expandable container having flexible walls, the container being adapted to be inserted into a central cavity of an intervertebral disk through a narrow cannula, and the flexible walls are made from a biocompatible hydrogel. A preferred hydrogel is a cryogel formed from an aqueous solution of poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone). The prosthesis may be prepared by dip-coating a mandrel with an aqueous solution of a hydrogel-forming polymer or mixture of such polymers, gelling the coated solution by chilling, and subjecting the gelled coating to a series of repeated freeze-thaw treatments. In use, the prosthesis is inserted into a central cavity of an intervertebral disk and filled with biocompatible material, e. g. , a biocompatible liquid, a biocompatible polymer, and a biocompatible hydrogel, particularly a thermogelling hydrogel.

Bioadhesive Hydrogels

US Patent:
8366778, Feb 5, 2013
Filed:
Jan 12, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/812141
Inventors:
Kristin B. Kita - Conshohocken PA, US
Nigel G. Smith - Norwich, GB
Anthony M. Lowman - Wallingford PA, US
Garland W. Fussell - Thorndale PA, US
Assignee:
Synthes USA, LLC - West Chester PA
Drexel University - Philadelphia PA
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716, 623 1711
Abstract:
A method of forming and the resulting bioadhesive hydrogel composition for repairing or supplementing a nucleus pulposus of an intervertebral disc comprises at least a first component, a second component and a third component, wherein the first component, the second component and the third component are crosslinked. The first component comprises an amine-containing polymer component at a concentration from about 0. 1% weight by weight to about 13. 65% weight by weight. The second component comprises a hydrophilic polymer or pre-polymer component at a concentration from about 3% weight by weight to about 35% weight by weight. The third component comprises an aldehyde component at a concentration from about 0. 1% weight by weight to about 30% weight by weight. A method of repairing or supplementing a nucleus pulposus of an intervertebral disc comprises implanting the bioadhesive hydrogel composition in a patient.

Method To Repair A Damaged Intervertebral Disc Through The Use Of A Bioadhesive, Thermogelling Hydrogel

View page
US Patent:
8420740, Apr 16, 2013
Filed:
Aug 21, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/842705
Inventors:
Nigel Gordon Smith - Norwich, GB
Meredith Hans - Abington PA, US
Anthony M. Lowman - Wallingford PA, US
Andrea Jennifer Vernengo - Sicklerville NJ, US
Garland Fussell - Thorndale PA, US
Assignee:
Synthes USA, LLC - West Chester PA
Drexel University - Philadelphia PA
International Classification:
C08K 9/06
C08L 35/00
C08F 283/00
US Classification:
525217, 525207, 525540, 523113, 424486
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a bioadhesive thermogelling hydrogel composition for repairing and/or augmenting an intervertebral disc. The bioadhesive thermogelling hydrogel composition can be cross linked with the surrounding tissue so as to potentially serve as a nucleus pulposus replacement or augmentation along with serving to repair annular tears or fissure. The bioadhesive thermogelling hydrogel composition may include three main components: a thermal responsive polymer, an amine-containing polymer and a crosslinking component. All three components can be modified and combined in numerous ways to serve the need of the system as long as the amine-containing component is kept separate from the crosslinking component until the components are injected. The incorporation of a two-part crosslinking thermal responsive hydrogel permits smaller amounts of the crosslinking component to be used and enables the crosslinking dialdehyde to be delivered locally into the tissue that will react with the hydrogel. This helps prevent damage to tissues away from the hydrogel.
