20140011980 | METHODS FOR STERILIZING COMPOSITIONS AND RESULTING COMPOSITIONS - Method for sterilizing a hydrogel composition include subjecting the composition to pulsed light comprising broadband spectrum radiation, the pulsed light being at a dose effective to sterilize the composition without causing significant change in rheology of the composition. | 01-09-2014 |
20140088702 | TISSUE EXPANDER WITH SELF-HEALING ANTERIOR SIDE - A tissue expander includes an elastomeric shell having an anterior inside surface and a posterior inside surface with a self-healing layer abutting only a portion of the anterior inside surface. The layer is spaced apart from the posterior inside surface while facilitating folding of the shell prior to insertion into a tissue pocket and also enabling inflation of the shell subsequent to insertion by a fluid injected between the self healing layer and posterior surface. | 03-27-2014 |
20140094433 | DERMAL FILLER HYDROGELS WITH VITAMIN A/CYCLODEXTRIN INCLUSION COMPLEXES - Compositions, such as hydrogel compositions, that include a hyaluronic acid, a vitamin A, and a cyclodextrin may be used as medical or cosmetic fillers, implants, or creams. For example, the compositions may be used as dermal fillers. | 04-03-2014 |
20140121771 | INFLATABLE PROSTHESES AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME - An inflatable tissue expander or more permanent prosthesis, suitable for implantation in a breast, is provided. The tissue expander includes a puncturable, self-sealing anterior portion forming a fillable cavity, and posterior portion that is puncture resistant. The anterior portion includes a silicone-based elastomer material having a mesh embedded therein. The posterior portion includes a first composite guard and a second composite guard, each composite guard including an arrangement of puncture resistant members and a flexible substrate having a first side on which the puncture resistant members are disposed in a spaced apart fashion. | 05-01-2014 |
20140154491 | FOAM-LIKE MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING SAME - Described herein are foam-like materials having substantially the same physical structure of polyurethane foams but with properties that can be tailored for a particular application. Methods of forming these foam-like materials are also described. | 06-05-2014 |
20140154508 | POROGEN COMPOSITIONS, METHODS OF MAKING AND USES - The present specification discloses porogen compositions comprising a core material and shell material, methods of making such porogen compositions, methods of forming such porous materials using such porogen compositions, biocompatible implantable devices comprising such porous materials, and methods of making such biocompatible implantable devices. | 06-05-2014 |
20140179819 | POROUS MATERIALS, METHODS OF MAKING AND USES - The present specification discloses porous materials, methods of forming such porous materials, biocompatible implantable devices comprising such porous materials, and methods of making such biocompatible implantable devices. | 06-26-2014 |
20140315828 | CROSS-LINKED SILK-HYALURONIC ACID COMPOSITIONS - Compositions useful as dermal fillers and methods using such compositions to treat various skin and soft tissue conditions. The dermal fillers can comprise silk attached to hyaluronic acid using for example two cross linkers and can be used to treat of facial imperfections, facial defects, facial augmentations, breast imperfections, breast augmentations or breast reconstructions. | 10-23-2014 |
20150057381 | POROGEN COMPOSITIONS, METHODS OF MAKING AND USES - Provided are porogen compositions and methods of using such porogen compositions in the manufacture of porous materials, for example, porous silicone elastomers. The porogens generally include comprising a core material and shell material different from the core material. The porogens can be used to form a scaffold for making a resulting porous elastomer when the scaffold is removed. | 02-26-2015 |
