Biocompatible phase invertible proteinaceous compositions and methods for making and using the same
View Patent ↗Biocompatible phase invertible proteinaceous compositions and methods for making and using the same are provided. Phase invertible compositions in accordance with the invention are prepared by combining a liquid proteinaceous substrate and a liquid crosslinking composition, where the liquid crosslinking composition includes a macromolecular crosslinking agent. Also provided are kits for use in preparing the subject compositions. The subject compositions, kits and systems find use in a variety of different applications.
1. A kit for producing a phase invertible composition, said kit comprising:
(a) a proteinaceous substrate; and
(b) a crosslinking composition comprising a macromolecular crosslinking agent which comprises a reaction product of an excess of an aldehyde crosslinking agent and a glycosaminoglycan.
2. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein said glycosaminoglycan is hyaluronan.
3. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein said kit further comprises a phase invertible fluid delivery device.
