Application: Drug eluting elastic bands and ligation (Patent ID: US20240009359A1)
The patent filed by the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center describes medical apparatuses, formulations, manufacturing processes, and medical procedures related to drug-eluting rubber bands for banding procedures like hemorrhoid ligation. These rubber bands can release therapeutic agents such as local anesthetics, opioids, calcium channel blockers, antibiotics, sclerosing agents, and steroids for therapeutic purposes. The drug-eluting elastic medical apparatus is manufactured by dissolving the elastomer and therapeutic agent in an organic solvent, followed by evaporating the solvent while the elastomer reforms into a specific shape, such as a rubber band with particular dimensions.
The patent also covers a medical procedure involving securing the drug-eluting elastic medical apparatus to tissue to release therapeutic agents locally. This procedure can lead to strangulation and necrosis of the tissue, causing it to break off. The therapeutic agents can be a combination of analgesics, anti-inflammatory agents, antimicrobial agents, or sclerotic agents. Additionally, the patent includes a method for manufacturing the drug-eluting elastic medical apparatus, involving the dissolution of elastomer and therapeutic agent in an organic solvent, followed by evaporating the solvent to form the composite. The elastomer used in the apparatus can consist of a combination of specific materials like polyisoprene, polystyrene, polyurethane, or silicone, with varying percentages of polystyrene. The method also allows for the creation of 3D printer filaments for printing the medical apparatus.
