An anchorage device includes a substrate extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end having a first bonding area and an opposite second end having a second bonding area. The substrate has a third bonding area between the first and second bonding areas. Kits, systems and methods are disclosed.

Customizable anchorage devices and methods of use

The present invention is directed to polyphenolic polymers formed from dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) derivatives or from resorcinol derivatives, monomers which form such polymers, blends of the polymers with drugs and/or additional polymers, as well as medical devices formed from, coated with, impregnated by or coverings made with any of the foregoing polymers (with or without drugs) or blends (with or without drugs).

Dihydroxybenzoate polymers and uses thereof

The present invention is directed to linear, biodegradable polyesteramide (PEA) polymers synthesized with repeating units derived from aminophenol esters and diacids. These PEAs have a monomer repeat represented by as well as a variety of uses to coat, form or comprise medical devices, combination medical devices and pharmaceutical compositions, including sustained release formulations.

Linear polyesteramides from aminophenolic esters

A biodegradable, flexible covering for a breast implant is provided which comprises one or more biodegradable polymer layers dimensioned and shaped to cover at least a portion of the breast implant. The implant can be inserted into an opening of the covering immediately prior to surgery, but alternate configurations and times of insertion are contemplated as well as open or sheet type devices. The coverings can optionally contain one or more drugs for delivery at the surgical site, particularly for treating or preventing infection, pain, inflammation, capsular contracture, scarring or other complications associated with breast augmentation or breast reconstruction.
