    摘要: Alternative designs, materials and manufacturing methods for medical devices. Some embodiments disclosed deal with attachment of an elongated structure, such as a wire or ribbon, or a tubular member, such as a coil, to an elongated member in an elongated device. For example, an elongated core member having defining an outer surface, and an elongated structure including a first portion and a second expanded portion along the length thereof can be provided. An attachment member, such as a centering ring, or the like, is disposed about a portion of the elongated core member and a part of the first portion of the elongated structure. The attachment member defines a lumen and having an inner surface. Part of the first portion of the elongated structure is disposed between the inner surface of the attachment member and the outer surface of the elongated core member. A part of the second portion of the elongated structure is in mechanical engagement with the inner surface of the attachment member and the outer surface the elongated core member to provide a mechanical coupling of the elongated structure between the attachment member and the elongated core member. Some embodiments provide a method of making such a construction, wherein the elongated structure can be moved relative to the attachment member such that the second portion of the elongated structure engages the inner surface of the attachment member and the outer surface the elongated core member to mechanically couple the elongated structure to the elongated core member.

    摘要: The disclosed process for making a high % solids, one-part, curable, essentially flowable or pumpable, high equivalent weight polyurethane (i.e., polyol-polyisocyanate adduct) prepolymer composition involves de-watering the polyol component of the reaction mixture with an alkaline earth metal oxide, preferably calcium oxide; adding the minimum acceptable level of catalyst for the NCO/polyol reaction; exothermically reacting a partially hindered aliphatic polyisocyanate such as isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and a partially hindered aromatic polyisocyanate such as 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate seriatim, so that at least about one-fourth of the IPDI reacts before the 2,4-TDI is added; and then adding more catalyst for the curing (e.g. moisture cure) reaction. Careful control over the amounts and selection of raw materials, proper selection of sequences of addition of these amounts and materials, careful de-watering of the reaction mixture, and proper adjustment or selection of isocyanate functionality minimizes random and undesired reactions and side reactions (e.g. chain extension) during prepolymer formation and insures good elastomeric properties in the ultimately cured product. As a result, this well-controlled prepolymer composition can be made efficiently with simple mixing equipment. One of the preferred coating or sealant uses for the prepolymer product is cured elastomeric coatings for the building industry, e.g. as a primary seal in roofing.
