Described are polymers and methods of forming and using same.

Polymer particles

Biodegradable, cross-linked polymer particle embolics and methods of making the same are described. The particle embolics can be used as embolization agents.

Lubricious or hemocompatible coatings for medical devices are described.

Coatings for medical devices

Embolic particles are described. The particles are reaction products of a prepolymer solution including at least one polyether macromer and an appropriate monomer.

Particles

Polymer particle embolics and methods of making same are described. The particle embolics can be used as embolization agents.

Compositions are described comprising a polymer; a non-physiological pH solution; and a visualization agent; wherein the polymer is soluble in the non-physiological pH solution and insoluble at a physiological pH. Methods of forming the solutions and polymers are disclosed as well as methods of therapeutic use.

Polymeric treatment compositions

Liquid embolic preparations and medical treatment methods of using those preparations are described. In some embodiments, the preparations or solutions can transition from a liquid to a solid for use in the embolization. The preparations can include biocompatible polymers with covalently bound radioactive iodine isotopes.

Radioactive liquid embolic

Described are coatings for medical devices and methods of forming same.

Antimicrobial coatings

Polymeric compositions are described comprising a biocompatible polymer including a biodegradable linkage to a visualization agent and a non-physiological solution; wherein the biocompatible polymer is soluble in the non-physiological solution and insoluble in a physiological solution. Methods of forming the solutions and polymers are disclosed as well as methods of therapeutic use.

Lubricious coatings for medical devices and their uses are described.

Coatings

Described herein are polymeric particles configured for intravascular delivery of pharmaceutical agents, e.g., to a diseased site, and methods of forming and using same. Preparation of these polymer particles is also described.

Methods of treatment comprising administering polymer particles configured for intravascular delivery of pharmaceutical agents

Described are medical devices including expandable tubular bodies configured to be implanted into a lumen, wherein the outer surface of the expandable tubular bodies are coupled to a polymer(s).
