Foam Control For Synthetic Adhesive/Sealant

View page
US Patent:
7858835, Dec 28, 2010
Filed:
Jun 27, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/823341
Inventors:
Ferass Abuzaina - Shelton CT, US
Fatima Munoz - Danbury CT, US
Assignee:
Tyco Healthcare Group LP - North Haven CT
International Classification:
A61F 13/00
US Classification:
602 42, 602 43, 602 48
Abstract:
Methods for producing biocompatible compositions are provided. The biocompatible compositions include an isocyanate-functional polyurethane prepolymer in combination with a foam control agent. The foam control agent decreases the formation of bubbles and/or foam in the biocompatible composition, thereby enhancing the physical properties of the biocompatible composition. The presence of the foam control agent does not compromise the strength of the biocompatible composition. The compositions prepared by the methods of the present disclosure may be used as adhesives or sealants for medical/surgical uses.

Cannula System

View page
US Patent:
8480651, Jul 9, 2013
Filed:
Jun 26, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/147046
Inventors:
Ferass Abuzaina - Shelton CT, US
Ahmad Robert Hadba - Wallingford CT, US
Assignee:
Covidien LP - Mansfield MA
International Classification:
A61M 25/00
US Classification:
604523, 604236, 604256, 604200, 604201, 604113, 604246, 604244
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a cannula useful for introducing a thermally responsive polymer in situ. In embodiments, the cannula possesses more than one cannula, with the thermally responsive polymer introduced in one cannula, and a material such as a coolant in a second cannula which prevents premature gelling of the thermally responsive polymer.

Speeding Cure Rate Of Bioadhesives

View page
US Patent:
8500947, Aug 6, 2013
Filed:
Oct 27, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/258503

Hydrogels Suitable For Use In Polyp Removal

View page
US Patent:
20090324721, Dec 31, 2009
Filed:
Jul 1, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/496060
Inventors:
Jack Kennedy - Guilford CT, US
Ferass Abuzaina - Shelton CT, US
Steven Bennett - Cheshire CT, US
Ahmad Robert Hadba - Wallingford CT, US
International Classification:
A61K 9/107
A61K 31/74
US Classification:
424486, 424 7808
Abstract:
Biocompatible crosslinked polymers, and methods for their preparation and use, are disclosed in which the biocompatible crosslinked polymers are formed from water soluble precursors having electrophilic and nucleophilic functional groups capable of reacting and crosslinking in situ. Methods for making the resulting biocompatible crosslinked polymers biodegradable, or not, are provided, as are methods for controlling the rate of degradation. The crosslinking reactions may be carried out in situ on organs or tissues or outside the body. In embodiments, the biocompatible crosslinked polymers and/or their precursors may be utilized in a surgical procedure, such as a polypectomy.

Differentiation Of Surgical Filaments

View page
US Patent:
20100010539, Jan 14, 2010
Filed:
Jul 8, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/499300
Inventors:
Ferass Abuzaina - Shelton CT, US
Joseph Hotter - Middletown CT, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/04
US Classification:
606228
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a filament for use in surgical procedures. The filament includes a first end with a first tangible indicator and a second end with a second, different tangible indicator. The first and second tangible indicators attribute different surface topographies to the respective first and second ends of the filament to provide a way of differentiating therebetween through tactile engagement.
