Hydrogels formed in situ and composition design for intrauterine use

Abstract

Medical hydrogel systems for providing improved properties for certain medical applications are described. The hydrogel systems are effective for forming a space filling hydrogel in a body cavity and for the prevention of adhesion formation between tissues within the body cavity following a surgical procedure. Hydrogel delivery systems for transcervical delivery of a premixed precursor solution and an accelerator solution are described. Methods for transcervical installation of intrauterine hydrogels with distended fill are also described. The hydrogel systems, hydrogel delivery systems, and associated methods can be useful for providing degradable hydrogel in the uterine cavity, including the cervical canal, for the prevention of adhesions following intrauterine procedures.
