A method of manufacturing a surgical device including providing a substrate having opposite first and second sides. The second side having a first section and a second section. Coupling a substrate to a fixture such that the first side faces the fixture and depositing a gel onto the second side such that the gel coats the first section without coating the second section.

Surgical system and methods of use

The invention generally relates to compositions and methods for preventing sternal wound infections, such as mediastinitis. In certain embodiments, the invention provides an antimicrobial composition including at least one bioresorbable polymer, such as a tyrosine-derived polyesteramide, and at least one antimicrobial agent, in which the composition is adapted to be topically applied to an esophageal perforation in a subject or a median sternotomy incision site in the subject, and in which the at least one antimicrobial agent is present in an amount effective to inhibit development of mediastinitis in the subject.
