COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING SCAR TISSUE FORMATION

摘要

The present invention describes the application of sirolimus and analogs of sirolimus to treat wound healing and reduce scar tissue formation. Also contemplated are non-sirolimus compounds believed to interact with the mTOR protein that have similar effects. Specifically, various medium are contemplated to create, for example, microparticles, foams, gels, sprays and bioadhesives that may be administered during surgical procedures involving either open or closed surgical site. Coating medical devices for long-term implantation is contemplated as one method of use of the above compositions.
