The invention concerns biocompatible polymer systems comprising at least one polymer with a plurality of pores, said polymer comprising a sulfonic acid salt functionality designed to adsorb a broad range of protein based toxins from less than 0.5 kDa to 1,000 kDa and positively charged ions including but not limited to potassium.

Multi-functional hemocompatible porous bead sorbent for removing protein based toxins and potassium from biological fluids

Connector assemblies and methods of replacing components in an extra-corporeal circuit (ECC) system are disclosed. A connector assembly for use in an ECC system includes a tubular body having an inner surface defining a lumen extending through the tubular body with the lumen extending along a longitudinal axis, a first connection interface in fluid communication with the lumen, a second connection interface in fluid communication with the lumen, and a plurality of closure mechanisms, each closure mechanism being configured to occlude the lumen.

Connector assembly and methods of use

The invention concerns biocompatible polymer systems comprising at least one polymer with a plurality of pores, said polymer comprising either polyol or zwitterionic groups designed to adsorb endotoxins and other inflammatory mediator molecules. The inventions are in the field of porous polymeric sorbents, also in the field of broadly reducing endotoxins in blood and blood products that can cause endotoxemia, additionally, in the field of broadly removing endotoxins by perfusion or hemoperfusion.

The present invention concerns methods of treating systemic, regional, or local inflammation from a patient suffering or at risk of inflammation comprising administration of a therapeutically effective dose of a sorbent that sorbs an inflammatory mediator in said patient. In some preferred embodiments, the sorbent is a biocompatible organic polymer.

Method of treating inflammation

The present invention concerns methods of administering a therapeutically effective dose of a sorbent for an inflammatory mediator to a patient where the inflammatory mediator is one or more of enzymes, cytokines, prostaglandins, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, kinins, complement, coagulation factors, endotoxins, enterotoxins, lipopolysaccharide, cell fragments, bile salts, fatty acids, phospholipids, interferon and immunomodulatory antibodies, biologics or drugs.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for preventing or treating acute or chronic oral mucositis, esophagitis, enteritis, colitis, or gastrointestinal acute radiation syndrome (GI-ARS) caused by radiation exposure, using one or more enteron sorbent polymers administered gastrointestinally (e.g. orally, via feeding or gastric tube, via ostomy, or rectally).

Use of gastrointestinally administered porous enteron sorbent polymers to prevent or treat radiation induced mucositis, esophagitis, enteritis, colitis, and gastrointestinal acute radiation syndrome

A size-selective hemocompatible porous polymeric adsorbent system is provided, the polymer system comprises at least one crosslinking agent and at least one dispersing agent, and the polymer has a plurality of pores with diameters in the range from about 17 to about 40,000 Angstroms.

Size-selective hemocompatible polymer system

A size-selective hemocompatible porous polymeric adsorbent system is provided, the polymer system comprises at least one polymer with a plurality of pores, and the polymer has at least one transport pore with a diameter from about 250 Angstroms to about 2000 Angstroms, and the polymer has a transport pore volume greater than about 1.8% to about 78% of a capacity pore of volume of the polymer.
