Definitions
- Shape memory materials are defined by their capacity to recover a predetermined shape after significant mechanical deformation (K. Otsuka and C. M. Wayman, "Shape Memory Materials” New York: Cambridge University Press, 1998).
- the shape memory effect is typically initiated by a change in temperature and has been observed in metals, ceramics, and polymers. From a macroscopic point of view, the shape memory effect in polymers differs from ceramics and metals due to the lower stresses and larger recoverable strains achieved in polymers.
- SMP shape memory polymer
- the glass transition temperature, T g is typically represented by a transition in modulus-temperature space and can be used as a reference point to normalize temperature for some SMP systems. SMPs offer the ability to vary T g over a temperature range of several hundred degrees by control of chemistry or structure.
- the predeformation temperature, T d is the temperature at which the polymer is deformed into its temporary shape. Depending on the required stress and strain level, the initial deformation T d can occur above or below T g (Y. Liu, K. Gall, M. L. Dunn, and P. McCluskey, "Thermomechanical Recovery Couplings of Shape Memory Polymers in Flexure.” Smart Materials & Structures, vol. 12, pp. 947-954, 2003).
- the storage temperature, T s represents the temperature in which no shape recovery occurs and is equal to or is below T d .
- the storage temperature T s is less than the glass transition temperature T g .
- the shape memory effect is activated, which causes the material to substantially recover its original shape.
- T r is above T s and is typically in the vicinity of T g .
- Recovery can be accomplished isothermally by heating the material to a fixed T r and then holding, or by continued heating up to and past T r . From a macroscopic viewpoint, a polymer will demonstrate a useful shape memory effect if it possesses a distinct and significant glass transition (B. Sillion, "Shape memory polymers," Act. Chimique., vol. 3, pp.
- Thermosetting Copolymers V. Shape memory effect.” J. App. Pol. Sci., vol. 84, pp. 1533-1543, 2002).
- the difference £ max - ⁇ ⁇ is defined as the recoverable strain, £recover, while the recovery ratio is defined as £ reC over £ max .
- SMPs are processed in a manner that is termed programming, whereby the polymer is deformed and set into a temporary shape.
- programming A. Lendlein, S. Kelch, "Shape Memory Polymer,” Advanced Chemie, International Edition, 41 , pp. 1973-2208, 2002.
- the stimulus may be, for example, temperature, magnetic field, water, or light, depending on the initial monomer systems.
- an external heat source may be used to provide discretionary control of the shape recovery by the physician, or the body's core temperature may be utilized to stimulate the shape recovery upon entry or placement within the body from the environmental temperature, which may be room temperature.
- the life expectancy of the device can be defined by the duration that it must maintain its mechanical properties and functionality in the body.
- biodegradable devices For biodegradable devices, this life expectancy is intentionally short, providing a mechanism for the material and device to degrade over time and be absorbed by the body's metabolic processes.
- biodurable devices For non- biodegradable devices, referred to as biodurable devices, or devices exhibiting biodurability, they are not intended to degrade and they must maintain their material properties and functionality for longer periods, possibly for the life the patient.
- Radiopacity refers to the relative inability of electromagnetism, particularly X-rays, to pass through dense materials, which are described as 'radiopaque' appearing opaque/white in a radiographic image. A more radiopaque material appears brighter, whiter, on the image.
- Radiopacity brightness, or signal strength of a material are density and atomic number.
- Polymer based medical devices requiring radiopacity typically utilize a polymer blend that incorporates a small amount, by weight percent, of a heavy atom, radiopaque filler such as Titanium Dioxide (Ti0 2 ), or Barium Sulfate (BaS0 4 ).
- the device's ability to be visualized on fluoroscopy is dependent upon the amount, or density, of the filler mixed into the material, which is typically limited to a small quantity as the filler can detrimentally affect the base polymer's material properties.
- medical device imaging companies have developed standardized liquid contrast media to be intermittently used by physicians to highlight vascular structures, etc. during X-ray or Fluoroscopy when filled with this contrast media.
- This media commonly contains a heavy atom fluid, such as iodine, to induce radiopacity.
- Iodine-incorporating monomers were reported by Mosner et al., who reported 3 different triiodinated aromatic monomers, which differed in the degree to which they could be homopolymerized or required copolymerization in order to be incorporated.
- the invention provides radiopaque polymers.
- the radiopaque polymers are shape memory polymers (SMPs).
- the compositions and compounds disclosed are useful for medical devices.
- the compositions and compounds disclosed may be shape memory polymers as defined herein and known in the art, but are not used in a manner in which they are externally triggered.
- the compositions and compounds disclosed are "space-triggered", as the phrase is conventionally used. In a space triggered material the materials return to their original shape upon removal of a spatial constraint, as is the case when a coil-shaped specimen emerges from its temporary elongated configuration within a deployment catheter and regains its coil shape, for example.
- compositions and compounds described herein may technically have shape memory properties, but those properties may or may not be used in the devices and methods of the invention.
- the compounds and compositions described and disclosed here are intended to include shape memory aspects and non-shape memory aspects as applicable. If a particular embodiment is described using a shape memory polymer, it is recognized that other compounds and compositions that are not specifically defined as having shape memory properties may be interchangeable and used in that embodiment.
- the polymers of the invention do not contain any metal materials or metal components or elements but still exhibit suitable radiopacity for clinical viewing using conventional imaging systems.
- Clinicians are commonly challenged by obscuring artifacts from metal and metal based implanted devices when attempting to image using either CT scan (Computed Tomography) or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).
- CT scan Computer Tomography
- MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging
- the significance of the artifact is typically based upon the amount of metal content and can be so excessive as to inhibit the ability to clinically image the device. This situation can require an alternative means to clinically evaluate the patient or device (e.g. angiogram, etc.) which may not only be more costly, but more invasive and risky to the patient.
- a non-metallic, radiopaque polymer reflects a significant advantage and differentiation from other approaches for radiopaque devices.
- a device disclosed contains metal.
- a device disclosed contains metal in the form of marker bands, as conventionally used for visualization.
- the devices disclosed comprise platinum-iridium or gold marker bands, as known in the art.
- marker bands may be used to achieve a specific product requirement, such as demarcation of an edge of the device or alignment of two devices for proper use, for example. The use of marker bands is optional with the devices described herein.
- the compositions and compounds disclosed comprise a radiopaque functionality.
- the radiopaque functionality is one or more iodine atoms. In an aspect, the radiopaque functionality is one or more Br or Bi atoms. In an embodiment, the compositions and compounds of the invention include covalently bound heavy atoms such as iodine. In this embodiment, the distribution of iodine or other radiopaque functionality within the polymer is sufficiently homogeneous so as to be efficacious for imaging applications.
- the polymers of the present invention are sufficiently amorphous that some conventional analysis methods do not indicate the presence of residual amounts of crystallinity.
- the polymers described herein are not sufficiently crystalline as to cause devices incorporating the polymers to be inoperative in the desired uses. In general, if shape memory polymers are
- the shape memory polymer and non-shape memory polymers described here can be affected by the selection of the components used to form the polymer, as further described herein.
- the glass transition temperature and rubbery modulus of the polymers of the present invention can be adjusted independently, as further described herein.
- the invention provides a polymer which has sufficient resistance to water absorption that it can be used to fabricate medical devices or device components for use in a physiological environment with exposure to body fluid(s).
- the medical devices or device components show little change in their mechanical properties or degradation of their mechanical integrity during the useful lifetime of the device.
- the devices and compositions described here are useful for permanent (or long-term) implantation or use in a biological system.
- devices or device components formed using the polymer compositions of the invention exhibit a water uptake of less than 1 .0% by weight over a 24 hour period.
- devices or device components formed using the polymer compositions of the invention exhibit a water uptake of less than 0.5% by weight over a 24 hour period.
- the invention provides a polymer composition comprising a crosslinked polymer network, the network comprising a first repeating unit derived from a monofunctional radiopaque monomer and a second repeating unit derived from a multifunctional non-radiopaque monomer wherein neither the first nor the second monomer is fluorinated.
- the first repeating unit may be derived from the monomer of any of Formulas 8, 8-A, 8-B, 8-C, 1 3, 13-A, 14, 1 5, 16, 1 7 or 18.
- the second monomer is a multifunctional "hydrophobic" crosslinking monomer that imparts enhanced biodurability properties.
- the crosslinking monomer is other than poly(ethylene glycol) di(meth)acrylate (PEGDA or PEGDMA).
- the multifunctional crosslinker molecule may have two or more polymerizable functional groups, such as acrylate groups.
- the second repeating unit may be derived from the monomer of any of formulas 9, 9-A, 9-B, 9-C, or 19.
- the polymer composition may include repeating units derived from one or more monofunctional iodinated and/or non-iodinated co-monomers and/or one or more multifunctional crosslinking monomers.
- the amount of the first repeating unit derived from the radiopaque monomer may be from 15wt% to 35 wt% or 20-30 wt% of the polymer composition, while the amount of the repeating unit(s) derived from the crosslinking monomer(s) may be from 85wt% to 65 wt% or 80-70 wt% of the monomer mixture.
- the relative amount of the repeating units in the network derived from each type of monomer is the same as the relative amount of the respective monomers in the monomer mixture.
- the crosslinked network is characterized by covalent bonding between said first repeating unit and said second repeating unit such that the second repeating unit forms the crosslinking of the crosslinked network.

- a crystalline material displays long range order.
- the crystallinity of polymers is characterized by their degree of crystallinity, or weight or volume fraction of crystalline material in the sample ranging from zero for a completely non-crystalline polymer to one for a theoretical completely crystalline polymer.
- substantially amorphous is defined as the absence of crystalline features as detected by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), or by inconsistency and lack of reproducibility in mechanical tensile test results, e.g. stress-strain curve at a fixed temperature. In an embodiment, lack of reproducibility may be indicated by reproducibility of less than 95% at 95% confidence interval.
- a substantially amorphous polymer may incorporate relatively small amounts of crystallinity.
- the substantially amorphous polymer compositions of the invention show a transition from a glassy state to a rubbery state over a glass transition temperature range. Crystallinity can be reduced or eliminated by reducing the concentration of specific monomers that enhance this condition, and/or by introducing dissimilar structures to ensure that the polymer's molecular structure doesn't align during polymerization to result in crystallinity.
- the monomers (including crosslinking monomers) used to form the radiopaque polymer are selected to assure compatibility (e.g.
- the radiopaque polymer is sufficiently homogenous in terms of solid-phase compatibility of the polymerized units and in the sufficiently random incorporation of units throughout polymerization to obtain the desired performance characteristics.
- Phase incompatibility can lead to voids in the polymer morphology. Voids in the polymer matrix compromise mechanical performance and can lead to uptake of water and other fluids that displace the generated void volume, even when the incompatible phases are hydrophobic or even "water-repellant.”
- comonomers especially diacrylate or other polyacrylate crosslinkers, as
- polymerization proceeds from low conversion to high conversion can lead to a nonuniform crosslink density, with regions of higher (brittle) and lower (rubbery) crosslink density.
- the radiopaque polymer is homogenous enough that repeatable results (95% reproducible data at 95% confidence interval) can be obtained in a simple ultimate tensile test at a fixed temperature.
- homogeneity of the polymer may be improved by selection of the components of the monomer solution to reduce phase separation in the liquid or solid state.
- the monomer components and polymerization technique may be selected to facilitate random incorporation of monomer and crosslinker groups by free radical
- biodurability can be defined as durability for the period of time necessary to assure that the body has overcome the need of the device's function, e.g. a fallopian tube occlusion device that relies upon scar tissue formation to close the lumen no longer needs the device to generate scar tissue once the lumen is fully closed.
- the biodurable life of the device can be this value plus a suitable safety factor used in the design. Biodurability then is the ability of the device, and its material, to withstand the environmental challenges at its location of placement in the body, e.g. if in the bloodstream, it must withstand a bloody environment.
- the radiopaque polymer is not biodegradable within the desired lifetime of the medical device. In another embodiment, the radiopaque polymer is not biodegradable within three years. In an embodiment, the non-biodegradable polymer does not include aromatic groups other than those present in naturally occurring amino acid.
- the non-biodegradable polymer does not contain esters that are readily hydrolyzed at physiological pH and temperature.
- one of the several primary mechanisms of degradation can be caused by absorption of water or moisture. Whether the environment contains interstitial fluids, blood, saliva, urine, bile, intracranial fluid, etc., these environments are aqueous based. If the device or its material absorbs water, the material properties and device dimensions can change due to swelling, or the device function can be affected, such as the autogenesis of an errant electrical path, or the material properties can degrade causing the device to weaken or break apart. Therefore a primary consideration for biodurability of an implanted device is the device and all of its material's ability to not absorb water.
- water uptake can change the device's characteristics or detrimentally affect the device's performance over its intended life.
- medical devices fabricated from the polymers of the invention will exhibit minimal water uptake.
- the water uptake can be measured over a test period equivalent to the lifetime or the device or can be measured over a shorter screening period.
- the extent of water uptake is ⁇ 1 % by weight over 24 hours. For devices which exhibit water uptake of greater than 1 % by weight over 24 hours, typically continuous exposure results in material changes such as brittleness and eventual mechanical failure in standard testing.
- the minimal level of iodine concentration needed to achieve sufficient radiopacity to provide clinically acceptable imaging may be determined empirically.
- evaluation of identically sized devices formulated from polymers using different weight percentages of iodinated monomer can be compared under simulated clinical use conditions.

- Any polymer that can recover an original shape from a temporary shape by application of a stimulus such as temperature is considered a shape memory polymer (SMP).
- SMP shape memory polymer
- the original shape is set by processing and the temporary shape is set by thermo-mechanical deformation.
- a SMP has the ability to recover large deformation upon heating.
- Shape memory functionality can be utilized to develop medical devices that can be introduced into the body in a less invasive form, wherein the pre-deployed, or temporary, shape is intentionally smaller, or thinner, resulting in a lower profile and a smaller opening (smaller catheter or incision) to introduce the device into the patient than would otherwise be required without the shape change functionality. Then, when stimulated by temperature, typically body temperature but can also be greater than body temperature, the device undergoes shape recovery to return to its permanent, larger form.
- a polymer is a SMP if the original shape of the polymer is recovered by heating it above a shape recovery temperature, or deformation temperature (T d ), even if the original molded shape of the polymer is destroyed mechanically at a lower temperature than T d , or if the memorized shape is recoverable by application of another stimulus.
- T d shape recovery temperature
- Any polymer that can recover an original shape from a temporary shape by application of a stimulus such as temperature may be considered a SMP.
- thermomechanical properties of the shape memory polymer used to form the device are optimized for one or more of the following: Rubbery modulus (E mb ), Glass transition temperature (T g ), and Speed of recovery (S).
- E mb Rubbery modulus
- T g Glass transition temperature
- S Speed of recovery
- the preferred ranges of rubbery modulus can be different for different applications.
- the range of moduli of biological tissue can vary from 20 GPa (bone) to 1 kPa (eye) In an embodiment, the rubbery modulus is between 0.1 MPa and 15 MPa at 37°C.
- the rubbery modulus is between 0.1 MPa and 50 MPa for the flexible state and between 0.1 to 500 MPa for the rigid state at 37°C. Any rubbery modulus value that produces a functional product can be used.
- the SMP's modulus e.g. stiffness
- this soft material enhances compaction of the coil pack, shortening the resulting pack for easier placement and ultimately increasing the speed of occlusion.
- a higher value can be achieved for the SMP's modulus, such as 15MPa, to enhance stiffness.
- the SMP's modulus such as 15MPa
- stiffer SMPs can be used to form a tube stent wherein localized stiffness is used to generate outward radial force against a vessel wall when deployed which is required for retention.
- the polymers are selected based on the desired glass transition temperature(s) (if at least one segment is amorphous) taking into consideration the environment of use.
- the polymer transition temperature is tailored to allow recovery at the body temperature, T r ⁇ T g ⁇ 37 °C (A. Lendlein and R. Langer, "Biodegradable, elastic shape-memory polymers for potential biomedical applications.” Science, vol. 296, pp. 1673-1676, 2002).
- T r ⁇ T g ⁇ 37 °C A. Lendlein and R. Langer, "Biodegradable, elastic shape-memory polymers for potential biomedical applications.” Science, vol. 296, pp. 1673-1676, 2002.
- the distinct advantage of this approach is the utilization of the body's thermal energy to naturally activate the material.
- the required storage temperature, T s of a shape memory polymer with T g ⁇ 37 °C will typically be below room temperature requiring "cold" storage prior to deployment.
- the glass transition temperature of the SMP of the present invention as determined from the peak of tan ⁇ is from 1 0 °C to 75 °C, 20 °C to 50 °C, from 25 °C to 50 °C, or from 30 °C to 45 °C.
- the glass transition temperature may be below body temperature (e.g. 25-35 °C ), near body temperature (32-42 °C) or above body temperature (40-50°C). Any T g value that produces a functional product can be used.
- FIG. 1 illustrates curves for storage modulus ( ⁇ ') and Tan Delta (ratio of the material's Loss Modulus (E") to Storage Modulus (E')) obtained from dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) curve of an SMP formulation. This curve illustrates the recovery temperature (T r ), the glass transition temperature (T g ), the operating temperature (T 0 ) and Tan Delta Peak.
- the glass transition temperature may be determined using several methods; these include the peak or onset of the tan delta curve and the onset of the drop in the storage modulus.
- the width of the tan ⁇ peak is an indication of the breadth of the glass transition region.
- the glass transition temperature is in the specified ranges and the full width of the tan ⁇ peak at half maximum is from 1 0-30 °C or from 1 0-20 °C.
- the glass transition temperature determined by DMA is frequency dependent and generally increases with increasing frequency. In an embodiment, the measurement frequency is 1 Hz.
- the glass transition temperature may also depend upon the heating rate and the applied stresses or strains.
- TMA and DSC are heating rate dependent.
- TMA thermal mechanical analysis
- DSC differential scanning calorimetry
- TMA and DSC are heating rate dependent.
- the clinician is anticipating relatively rapid and repeatable shape recovery.
- the shape memory polymer devices of the invention produce shape recovery that is fast enough to be detected, completes in a reasonable (intraoperative) time, and repeatable from one device to another.
- the shape recovery time can be measured in use or from a screening procedure. The shape recovery time can be measured either from release to 100% recovery or from release to a predetermined amount of recovery.
- the rate of shape change correlates with the rate of storage modulus change on the DMA curve between the operating temperature and T r .
- rate of shape change can be primarily affected by the temperature difference between T 0 , the operating temperature (external heating or body core temperature if self actuated), and the polymer's T g (derived from the formulation).
- T 0 is typically set above T r .
- a larger difference between these temperatures will produce a faster rate of change up to an inherent rate limit, or asymptote of the change rate, of the material and device. This limit can be identified by monitoring shape change response time at different temperatures and plotting this relationship. Typically, the amount of response time decreases until it reaches an asymptote.
- T 0 reflects the lowest, optimum temperature for the fastest rate of shape change for that material. Increasing the temperature above this point does not induce further reductions in the shape change recover time, e.g. does not further increase the rate of shape change (refer to Figure 2). In an embodiment this inherent limit, or asymptote begins when T 0 is set at the temperature at which the Tan Delta curve is about 60% of its maximum value (refer to Figures 1 and 2, when T 0 is set above the material's T g ). In an embodiment, the polymer's maximum rate of shape change occurs at an environmental operating temperature (T 0 ) that is coincident with the temperature above Tg at which the material's Tan Delta value is equal to 60% of its peak value.
- T 0 environmental operating temperature
- the device may be designed so that this optimum temperature is at a useful operating temperature for the device (e.g. at body temperature or another preselected temperature).
- a useful operating temperature for the device e.g. at body temperature or another preselected temperature.
- the device is operated at a temperature which is the lowest temperature at which no further increase in shape change rate is seen.
- the device is operated at a temperature which is within +/- 5° C of this optimum temperature.
- the recovery ratio of the SMPs employed in the biomedical devices of the invention is greater than 75%, 80%, 90%, 95%, from 80- 1 00%, from 90-1 00%, or from 95-1 00%.
- the maximum achievable strain is of the radiopaque SMP from 1 0% to 800%, from 1 0% to 200%, from 1 0% to 500%, from 1 0% to 1 00%, from 20% to 800%, from 20% to 500%, from 20% to 800%. as measured at a temperature above the glass transition temperature.
- the maximum achievable strain or strain to failure of the radiopaque SMP is at least 30% at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, or at least 70%, from 40% to 1 00%, from 40% to 60%, from 50% to 1 00%, from 60 % to 100% as measured below the glass transition temperature. In different embodiments, the maximum achievable strain or strain to failure of the SMP is at least 30% at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, or at least 70%, from 40% to 1 00%, from 40% to 60%, from 50% to 1 00%, from 60 % to 1 00% as measured at ambient temperature (20-25 °C).
- the ability of the device (whether technically shape memory or not) to change conformation or configuration (e.g. to expand) is made possible by manufacturing a device having a first conformation or configuration (initial configuration) and, thereafter configuring the device into a second conformation or configuration (temporary or storage configuration), wherein this configuration is at least partially reversible upon the occurrence of a triggering event. After the triggering event, the device assumes a third configuration.
- the third configuration (deployed configuration) is substantially similar to the first configuration.
