Abstract
The present disclosure relates to collagen-containing implants including a porous substrate having a first hydrogel precursor and a second hydrogel precursor applied thereto in a manner such that the first hydrogel precursor and second hydrogel precursor do not react with each other until the implant is placed at the site of implantation and exposed to the physiological fluids of a patient.
Claims24
An implant comprising:
- a porous substrate having a first hydrogel precursor comprising collagen applied to the porous substrate;
- and
- a film containing a second hydrogel precursor formed of a water soluble polymer including polyethylene glycol, polyethylene oxide, polyethylene oxide-co-polypropylene oxide, co-polyethylene oxide block or random copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol, poly(vinyl pyrrolidinone), dextran, chitosan, alignates, carboxymethycellulose, oxidized cellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hyaluronic acid, or combinations thereof, the water soluble polymer functionalized to possess electrophilic groups, the film applied to the porous substrate,
- wherein the first hydrogel precursor is spatially separated from the second hydrogel precursor, and the first hydrogel precursor is configured to react with the second hydrogel precursor upon contact with bodily fluid after implantation, thereby forming a hydrogel.

An implant comprising:
- a porous substrate having a first hydrogel precursor comprising collagen applied to a first portion of the porous substrate;
- and
- a second hydrogel precursor formed of a water soluble polymer including polyethylene gylcol, polyethylene oxide, polyethylene oxide co-polypropylene oxide, co-polyethylene oxide block or random copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol, poly(vinyl pyrrolidinone), dextran, chitosan, alginates, carboxymethylcellulose, oxidized cellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hyaluronic acid, or combinations thereof, the water soluble polymer functionalized to possess electrophilic groups, the second hydrogel precursor applied to a second portion of the porous substrate,
- wherein the first portion of the porous substrate is spatially separated from the second portion of the porous substrate, the first hydrogel precursor is spatially separated from the second hydrogel precursor, and the first hydrogel precursor is configured to react with the second hydrogel precursor upon contact with bodily fluid after implantation, thereby forming a hydrogel.
