Abstract
Compositions are provided which include a polymer made at least in part from a polyoxyalkylene copolymer, such as a poloxamer. The polymer may be combined with a second component to form a blend or emulsion. The resulting composition may be utilized to form medical devices, drug delivery devices, or coatings for other medical devices.
Claims30
A blend comprising:
- a bioabsorbable terpolymer comprising from about 30 to about 50 weight percent of a polyoxyalkylene copolymer, from about 40 to about 50 weight percent epsilon-caprolactone, the balance of the copolymer comprising at least one other copolymerizable monomer selected from the group consisting of glycolide, lactide, p-dioxanone and trimethylene carbonate;
- and
- a polymer comprising two or more monomers selected from the group consisting of lactide, glycolide, lactic-acid, lactones, glycolic acid;
- carbonates, orthoesters, absorbable urethanes, absorbable nylons, polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol, polystyrene, n-vinyl pyrrolidine, n-vinyl pyridine, C1-C12 acrylate monomer, C1-C12 methacrylate monomer, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, potassium sulfopropyl acrylate, potassium sulfopropyl methacrylate, and 2-methacryloyl phosphorocholine.
1 more element
An emulsion comprising:
- a bioabsorbable terpolymer comprising about 30 to about 50 weight percent of a polyoxyalkylene copolymer, about 40 to about 50 weight percent epsilon-caprolactone, the balance of the copolymer comprising at least one other copolymerizable monomer selected from the group consisting of glycolide, lactide, p-dioxanone and trimethylene carbonate;
- and
- a polymer derived from two or more monomers selected from the group consisting of lactide, glycolide, lactic acid, lactones, glycolic acid, carbonates, orthoesters, absorbable urethanes, absorbable nylons, polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol, polystyrene, n-vinyl pyrrolidine, n-vinyl pyridine, C1-C12 acrylate monomer, C1-C12 methacrylate monomer, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, potassium sulfopropyl acrylate, potassium sulfopropyl methacrylate, and 2-methacryloyl phosphorocholine.
