Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are terpolymers that can function as pressure-sensitive adhesives. The disclosed articles comprise the terpolymers adhered to a release liner. The disclosed implant devices comprise the pressure-sensitive adhesive terpolymer adhered to a surface thereof. The pressure-sensitive adhesive terpolymer can promote adhesion of the implant device to a location in a subject.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An article, comprising: a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) having a first adhesive surface and an opposing second adhesive surface, the pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) comprises a poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) having a molecular weight (M w ) of from 100,000 to 140,000 Daltons and a polydispersity index (PDI) of less than 2.0; wherein the poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) exhibits storage modulus (G′) values of from about 1.5×10 5 Pa to about 5.5×10 5 Pa, over a frequency of from about 0.1 to about 1 Hz; and exhibits storage modulus (G′) values of from about 1.0×10 6 Pa to about 4.0×10 6 Pa, over a frequency of from about 10 2 to about 10 4 Hz at 30° C.; the poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) comprising from 50 to 60 mol % caprolactone; and a bioactive agent selected from the group consisting of gentamicin, tobramycin, rifampin, and minocycline, or combinations thereof; and a release liner, wherein the release liner fully covers the first adhesive surface and the second adhesive surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive. 2. The article of claim 1 , wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) consists of the poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone). 3. The article of claim 1 , the pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising a planar film. 4. The article of claim 1 , wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive is divided into a plurality of discrete units separated from one another, the plurality of units held together by the release liner.
