Title: Externally Injectable Hydrogel and Its Applications

Patent Overview

United States Patent 10,188,652, titled 'Externally Injectable Hydrogel and Its Applications,' was granted to L. M. Bilodeau et al. on January 22, 2019. The patent discloses a novel hydrogel composition that can be used to encapsulate pharmaceuticals or biologics for controlled release, tissue repair, or other biomedical applications.

Key Features and Claims

  • The disclosed hydrogel composition consists of a network of chemically cross-linked acrylic acid oligomers, which impart viscoelastic properties to the material. This allows the hydrogel to maintain its shape while exhibiting properties similar to those of soft biological tissues.
  • The hydrogel can be formulated with various active agents such as pharmaceuticals, biologics, genes, and/or biomolecules to create composite materials.
  • According to the patent, the injectable hydrogel can be used to deliver therapeutics to a target site within the body. This enables controlled release of the therapeutic agent over an extended period.
  • One potential application of the disclosed hydrogel is in tissue repair and regeneration. The hydrogel may provide a favorable environment for cell growth and tissue regeneration due to its biocompatibility and mechanical properties.
  • Further applications include implantable devices, skin substitutes, and dental applications.

Key Patent Claims

  • Claim 81: A method of preparing a tissue repair matrix comprising step (a) mixing the hydrogel with live cells; and (b) applying the mixture to a damaged tissue site.
  • Claim 82: A method of delivering a pharmaceutical to a biological target site by injecting the disclosed hydrogel composition into proximity with the target site.
  • Claim 84: A method of forming a composite implantable site preparation comprising the disclosed hydrogel and live cells.

Scopes of the Patent

  • Broad scope: The patent claims cover a wide range of biomedical applications, including tissue repair, drug delivery, and implantable devices, among others.
  • Narrow scope: The patent claims focus specifically on the composition and method of preparation of the injectable hydrogel, rather than its broader applications.

Key Implications

  • The disclosed hydrogel composition has vast potential in various biomedical applications, particularly in controlled drug release, tissue repair, and tissue engineering.
  • Patent 10,188,652 provides a unique and novel approach to biocompatible and viscoelastic materials that can be tailored for specific biomedical applications.
  • Future research on this patent may focus on optimizing the synthesis and properties of the hydrogel composition for various biomedical applications.
