The present invention relates to absorbable block copolymers with improved characteristics including thermal stability, molecular weight consistency, inherent viscosity retention following melt extrusion, and fibers made from the polymers exhibit increased strength.

Absorbable copolymers with improved thermal stability

A double network hydrogel consists of a first network and a second network, where the first network is, or includes, a first polymer that is formed, at least in part, of —CH—CH(OH)— units, and the second network is, or includes, a second polymer that is formed, at least in part, of carboxyl (COOH)-containing units or salts thereof, sulfonyl (SOH)-containing units or salts thereof, and at least one of hydroxyl (OH)-containing units or amino (NH)-containing units, where the hydrogel may be used as a cartilage replacement.

Double network hydrogel with anionic polymer and uses thereof

The present disclosure is directed to methods and compositions comprising photopolymerizable compositions for use in additive manufacturing, particularly for digital light processing, stereolithography or continuous liquid interface processing.

Methods and compositions for photopolymerizable additive manufacturing

Porous and microporous parts prepared by additive manufacturing as disclosed herein are useful in medical and non-medical applications. The parts are prepared from a composition containing both a solvent soluble component and a solvent insoluble component. After a part is printed by an additive manufacturing process it is exposed to solvent to extract solvent soluble component away front the printed part, resulting in a part having surface cavities.

Polymers for additive manufacturing

Compounds and compositions are provided which are useful in additive printing, particularly additive printing techniques such as stereolithography (SLA) wherein a macromer is photopolymerized to form a manufactured article. Representative compounds comprise a polyaxial central core (CC) and 2-4 arms of the formula (A)-(B) or (B)-(A) extending from the central core, where at least one of the arms comprise a light-reactive functional group (Q) and (A) is the free-radical polymerization product from monomers selected from trimethylene carbonate (T) and ε-caprolactone (C), while (B) is the free-radical polymerization product from monomers selected from glycolide, lactide and ρ-dioxanone.

A composite implant device for use in a medical application, comprising a synthetically-derived mesh that mimics particular critical aspects of a biologically-derived mesh. The composite implant device can be used for the reinforcement and reconstruction of tissues within the body and can be comprised of a majority of synthetic components and minority of naturally-derived components which mimic the structure and function of a naturally-derived mesh.

Stabilized monomer and polymer adhesive compositions useful in the formulation of biomedical adhesives and sealants for application to living tissue are provided.

Adhesive composition for wound closure

A double network hydrogel consists of a first network and a second network, where the first network is, or includes, a first polymer that is formed, at least in part, of &#x2014;CH&#x2014;CH(OH)&#x2014; units, and the second network is, or includes, a second polymer that is formed, at least in part, of carboxyl (COOH)-containing units or salts thereof, sulfonyl (SOH)-containing units or salts thereof, and at least one of hydroxyl (OH)-containing units or amino (NH)-containing units, where the hydrogel may be used as a cartilage replacement.

Method for forming a multi-layer construct

The present invention provides a goalie blocking glove that features a non-binding front blocking board surface that incorporates a carbon fiber front layer over the ultra-high density internal foam core, for lighter weight and added protection under extreme impacts. An adjustment mechanism is also included in the blocker glove, to allow the goalie to customize the fit of the inner glove to his or her individual hand size.

Goalie blocker glove

An inventive hockey pad with a recoil plate added to the pad to protect the internal padding by spreading impact loads, giving the pad longer performance life. In the preferred embodiment, the recoil plate is constructed of flexible carbon fiber that returns to its original shape. This property of the recoil plate effectively forces the pad back into its original shape after it is flexed.
