More Information
Summary:This invention provides a high-solids therapeutic composition for coating a medical device comprising: (a) a first material which is a hydrophilic therapeutic agent; and (b) a second material which includes a hydrophobic polymer and an emulsifying surfactant, wherein the composition is in a singular stable phase. Also provided is a mold-cast medical device, said medical device comprising a cured mixture of: (a) a first material which is a hydrophilic therapeutic agent; and (b) a second material which includes a hydrophobic polymer and an emulsifying surfactant, wherein the mixture forms a high-solids device. Further provided is an injectable polymer comprising: (a) a first material which is a hydrophilic therapeutic agent; and (b) a second material which includes a hydrophobic polymer and an emulsifying surfactant, wherein the polymer is in a singular stable phase.
