Biodegradable polymer composition
Patent 5,324,519
Issued: June 28, 1994
Inventor(s): Dunn; Richard L. & Tipton; Arthur J. & Southard; George L. & Rogers; Jack A.
Assignee(s): Atrix Laboratories, Inc.
The invention is directed to a composition composed of a thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer which is capable of forming a biodegradable and/or bioerodible microporous, solid or gelatinous polymer matrix. The matrix is useful as an implant in animals for enhancing regeneration of cells and tissue, such as bone and nerve cells, or for delivery of biologically-active substances to tissue or organs. The composition is administered to an implant site as a liquid. The invention also includes a method of preventing and treating disorders and diseases, such as bone or nerve growth disorders, or of altering body functions such as birth control, using the compositions and implants of the invention.Patent expiration dates:

Biodegradable implant precursor
Patent 6,395,293
Issued: May 28, 2002
Inventor(s): Alan M.; Polson & Deryl D.; Swanbom & Richard L.; Dunn & Charles P.; Cox & Richard L.; Norton & Bryan K.; Lowe & Kenneth S.; Peterson
Assignee(s): Atrix Laboratories
The invention is directed to a biodegradable implant precursor having a two-part structure made of an outer sac and a liquid content. The implant precursor is composed of a biodegradable, water-coagulable thermoplastic polymer and a water-miscible organic solvent. When administered to an implant site in an animal, the implant precursor will solidify in situ to a solid, microporous matrix by dissipation of the organic solvent to surrounding tissue fluids and coagulation of the polymer. The invention also includes methods of making the implant precursor, an apparatus for forming the precursor, and a kit containing the apparatus. Also provided are methods of using the implant precursor for treating a tissue defect in an animal, for example, for enhancing cell growth and tissue regeneration, wound and organ repair, nerve regeneration, soft and hard tissue regeneration, and the like, for delivery of biologically-active substances to tissue or organs, and other like therapies.Patent expiration dates:

Stoppering method to maintain sterility
Patent 6,626,870
Issued: September 30, 2003
Inventor(s): Cody L; Yarborough & Michael R.; Duncan & Richard L.; Norton & Rajan; Bawa & Dominic G.; Madril & Christopher J.; Barrett
Assignee(s): Artix Laboratories, Inc.
A syringe assembly is provided which includes a hollow barrel that has an interior wall. The interior wall defines a chamber that retains medication. The hollow barrel also includes a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end of the hollow barrel has a passageway that is in contact with the chamber. The proximal end of the hollow barrel has an aperture. The syringe assembly also includes a primary plunger tip that is slidably positioned, in fluid tight engagement, with the interior wall. The primary plunger tip has a receptor to engage an engager of an elongated tip plunger rod. The syringe assembly also includes a secondary plunger tip that is slidably positioned, in fluid tight engagement, with the interior wall. The secondary plunger tip also has a receptor to engage an engager of a tip plunger rod. The secondary plunger tip is disposed between the primary plunger tip and the proximal end of the hollow barrel. The syringe assembly also includes a tip plunger rod, which facilitates operation of the secondary plunger tip, engaged to the secondary plunger tip. The present invention also provides a process for providing a lyophilized medication (i.e., lyophilizate) in a syringe assembly and also provides a process for reconstituting a medication in a syringe assembly.Patent expiration dates:
