US Classification:
424619, 424618
Abstract:
A composition comprising a macromer that can be in situ polymerized into a hydrogel wound dressing directly on a wound and one or more antimicrobial agents intended to achieve bacteriostasis and/or be bacteriocidal. The antimicrobial agent is released upon application and trapped in the hydrogel upon its formation and also released over a period of time into the wound.

International Classification:
A61K 9/10
US Classification:
424486
Abstract:
A drug delivery vehicle having active agent loaded vesicles in a hydrogel matrix; desirably either or both of the vesicles and matrix are made of at least one stimulus responsive polymer so that active agent is released in response to contact with a stimulus.
Silicone pressure sensitive adhesives are described which exhibit unique properties enabling their use in various medical, microbiology, and life science applications. Also described are various silicone adhesive tape constructions which include one or more regions of the silicone-based pressure sensitive adhesives. In addition, systems and methods of using the silicone adhesives and silicone adhesive tapes are described, such as evaluating biological samples using the silicone adhesive tapes.
