Loadable Polymeric Particles for Therapeutic Use in Erectile Dysfunction and Methods of Preparing and Using the Same

摘要

Particles are provided for use in restorative procedures to treat erectile dysfunction. The particles include poly[bis(trifluoroethoxy)phosphazene] and/or derivatives thereof which may be present throughout the particles or within an outer coating of the particles. The particles may also include a core having a hydrogel formed from an acrylic-based polymer. Such particles may be loaded to provide localized treatment with an active agent directed at restoration of normal penile erectile function and the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Moreover, such particles may be provided to a user with customized coloration or in various coded colors to indicate differing doses of active agent contained therein.
