Definitions

  • This invention relates to orthopaedic casting and splinting bandages.
  • this invention relates to orthopaedic casting and splinting materials based on synthetic resins which, upon contact with water, will cross-link and harden to form a weight bearing support for a limb or body portion and to such resins which on contact with water will cross-link and harden.
  • Resin based splinting and casting materials find wide use in the immobilisation of limbs, for example the fixation of fractured bones, immobilisation of injured joints and for the support of ligaments and muscies where it is necessary to encase the limb in a partially or completely surrounding rigid form or cast.
  • a suitable material should be easily handleable, with a reasonable setting time to allow sufficient time in the case of casting bandages to mould the bandage about the limb and it should be flexible and free of offensive chemicals which may affect the patient or practitioner applying the material.
  • Splinting and casting materials comprising water activated synthetic polymers in which a cross-linkable prepolymer resin system is coated onto a suitable substrate are well known.
  • the most favoured and commercially developed systems are those based on prepoiymers which contain isocyanate functional groups and which in the presence of cold water will cross-link to form urea ⁇ bridges.
  • the resin systems usually also contain a catalyst to speed up the cross-linking reaction and so that a weight bearing cast may be formed in as short a time as possible consistent with requirements for moulding and shaping the splint.
  • the isocyanate linking reaction is usually an exothermic reaction. In meeting the working requirements for such resin systems the resin chemistry has to be carefully controlled so as to allow the resins to cure in a period of time which is acceptably short and yet not cure under conditions in which so much heat is evolved that the applied cast is uncomfortable to the wearer.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an improved orthopaedic casting bandage with a resin system which overcomes the above mentioned disadvantages
  • alkoxysiiane groups as the water activated reactive hydrolysable groups, more specifically the use of methoxysilane as the hydrolysable group has been proposed in the art.
  • the methoxysilane group has the advantage of being highly reactive with water without the need for catalysis, whereas higher molecular weight alkoxy substituents attached to the silane such as ethoxysilane or propoxysilane react more slowly and are not suitable for uncatalysed splinting and casting materials.
  • Methanol is a toxin in man, with potential to cause serious irreversible effects to the liver, central nervous systems and visual centres. It is a volatile compound, and thus patients and more possibly, plaster technicians could be exposed via inhalation as well as skin contact following its release from a setting casting material. The rate of metabolism and excretion of methanol is very low in man and thus repeated exposure to methanol may be regarded as having a cumulative effect.
  • Organo-oxy silanes are suitably defined as a group including alkoxysilanes [-Si-O-R] and acyloxysi lanes (-Si-O-C(O)-R], where R is an alkyl group aptly containing up to 10 carbon atoms.
  • Organo- oxy silane groups cross-link in the presence of water to form siloxane [-Si-O-Si] links.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a casting system which does not suffer from the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • an orthopaedic casting bandage comprising a flexible substrate, a water curable organo-oxy silane functionalised prepolymer system and a catalyst component characterised in that said catalyst component comprises a water soluble halide salt.
  • an orthopaedic casting bandage comprising a flexible substrate, a water curable organo-oxy silane functionalised prepolymer system and a catalyst component, characterised in that said catalyst comprises a water soluble alkali metal hahde salt.
  • the catalyst of the present invention comprises a water soluble halide salt.
  • Suitable water soluble halide salts include but are not limited to soluble alkali metal halide salts.
  • Apt examples of metal salts include sodium, potassium, iron, copper and zinc salts because of their low costs.
  • the catalyst of the present invention may further comprise a water soluble fluoride salt.
  • salts we include organic and inorganic halide salts.
  • Suitable halide salts include quaternary ammonium salts and alkali metal salts amongst others.
  • halides include but are not limited to the group comprising: caesium fluoride, sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, potassium (hexa) fluoride zirconate, potassium (hexa) fluoride titanate, manganese (II) fluoride, zinc (II) fluoride, iron (III) fluoride, iron (II) fluoride, tin (II) fluoride, tetrabutylammonium fluoride, potassium chloride, ammonium chloride and acetyl chloride.
  • the catalysts are potassium fluoride, sodium fluoride and caesium fluoride.
  • the catalyst may be mixed into the organo-oxy silane functionalised prepolymer before reaction with water or may be added to the water used to react with the prepolymer.
  • Suitable amounts of catalyst when mixed in with the prepolymer are 0.01 % w/w to 10.0% w/w more suitably 0.1% to 5.0% w/w.
  • Suitable amounts of catalyst when added to water to make a solution are solutions of 0.01% to 10.0%, more suitably a 0.1% to 5.0% solution.
  • the catalyst may be present as a single chemical species or a mixture.
  • the catalyst is dispersed in the curable prepolymer of the invention using methods known to those skilled in the art.
  • a problem often associated with the use of water soluble catalysts is where the shelf life of the curable prepolymer system is reduced due to the increased reactivity of the functionalised prepolymer with atmospheric moisture in the presence of such a catalyst. This may be avoided by coating the catalyst with a coating that is insoluble in atmospheric moisture and is soluble in water, or water pervious once the. coating is hydrated.
  • a preferred feature of the present invention although not essential is the pre-treatment of the selected water soluble halide catalyst with a hydrophilic coating, before dispersion in the prepolymer. This reduces the risk of ageing of the prepolymer system.
  • the hydrophilic coating may be any suitable coating that will dissolve on contact with water or become hydrated with water such that the hydrated coating becomes water pervious, for example polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate (poly HEMA).
  • PVA polyvinyl alcohol
  • poly HEMA polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate
  • the catalysts of the present invention may be suitable for a wide range of organo-oxy silane functionalised prepoiymers.
  • the catalyst component as herein before described may additionally comprise a second catalyst component.
  • the use of a second catalyst component may benefit the curing speed of the prepolymer system.
  • the second catalyst component may be any catalyst that enhances the catalytic activity of the catalyst component of the present invention. Apt examples are hereinafter described.
  • Aptly equal amounts of the catalysts are added to the resin system, for example 1.0%, 1.25%, 2% or 2.5% of each of the first and second catalyst by weight of the prepolymer system may be added.
  • Reactive tertiary amine catalysts have been proposed for use in casting bandages, however such a use is accompanied by the possibility the catalyst may leach out or evaporate from the prepolymer system during curing or after curing.
  • Such amines may have a strong odour and the potential inhalation and absorption toxicity of tertiary amines is well known.
  • covalently bound-in is meant a catalyst that is covalently bound to the organo-oxy silane functionalised prepolymer.
  • an orthopaedic casting bandage as herein before described additionally comprising a second catalyst wherein said second catalyst is covalently bound-in.
  • the bound-in tertiary amine catalyst may be present at any appropriate location in the prepolymer.
  • they may be introduced at an end of the prepolymer molecules via a capping reaction, they may be present on a side chain extending from the main polymer backbone, or may oe part of the polymer backbone itself.
  • the tertiary amine catalyst may be optionally substituted with substituents which do not substantially adversely affect the reaction 8 of the tertiary amine catalyst with the prepolymer or the catalytic effect of the tertiary amine catalyst when present in the functionalised prepolymer system of the present invention.
  • Appropriate tertiary amine catalysts for reacting with so as to form the prepoiymers of the present invention may include but are not limited to molecules with at least two functional secondary amine groups and/or at least one functional primary amine group, for example:
  • the chemically bound-in tertiary amine catalysts may comprise a single species or mixture of species.
  • the second catalyst component may suitably comprise other water soluble metal salts.
  • examples include but are not limited to copper salts for example copper II sulphate.
  • the catalyst component of the present invention may be suitable for a wide range of organo-oxy silane functionalised prepoiymers.
  • the prepoiymers employed in the present invention may be end capped with a an organo-oxy hydrolysable group as hereinafter described. Further, the prepoiymers may comprise pendant organo- oxy hydrolysable groups.
  • Favoured end capping groups have the general formula -Si(OR) radical, -Si(OCOR) n , -Si-0-Si(OR) n , -Si-O-Si(R ⁇ ) 3 .
  • n (OR) n ⁇ Si(OC(R 3 ) C(R ⁇ )(R 2 )n, where n has a value of 1 to 3 and each of R, R 1f R 2 .
  • R 3 may be the same or different and are alkyl groups aptly containing up to 10 carbon atoms.
  • the hydrolysable alkoxy or acyloxy group is a C 2 - C 6 hydrocarbon group. More preferably the hydrolysable group is a C 2 - C ⁇ hydrocarbon alkoxy group and most preferably the hydrolysable group is an ethoxysilyl or propoxysilyl group.
  • the prepoiymers used in the invention may be precured by the addition of water to cross-link a small percentage of the available organo-oxy silane groups.
  • the advantage gained would be an increase in molecular weight, leading to an increase in viscosity.
  • organo-oxy silane functionalised prepoiymers examples include organo-oxy silane functionalised polyurethanes, one component organo-oxy silane functionalised prepoiymers made by nucleophilic addition reactions and organo-oxy silane functionalised ionic based prepoiymers.
  • organo-oxy silane functionalised prepoiymers may be prepared by for example the reaction of nucleophiles with activated carbon-carbon based moieties or Michael-type reactions, where a least one of the reagents is terminated with a hydrolysable organo-oxy silane group.
  • Patent Application PCT/GB96/00231 is incorporated herein by reference.
  • Michael - type reactions may be defined as the reaction of a nucleophile with an ⁇ , ⁇ -unsaturated carbonyl moiety.
  • Michael - type reactions may be exemplified by the reaction of acrylate or acrylamide reagents with reagents terminated with -SH, -NH 2 , -NHNH 2 , or >NH moieties.
  • Preferred Michael - type reactions include the reactions of methacrylates, bisphenol A ethoxylate diacrylates, methylene bisacrylamides, bisacrylamide or diacrylate oligomers with amine functionalised oligomers such as aminoalkyl silanes.
  • Apt nucleophilic reactions also comprise the reaction of nucleophiles with carbon-carbon based moieties, which are activated by ring strain or electron withdrawing effects.

  • Suitable reactions include the reaction of organo-oxy terminated aminoalkylenesilanes with reagents terminated with three membered heterocycles such as epoxides or aziridines.
  • Hydrolysable organo-oxy silane functionalised ionic based prepoiymers are a single component system where the group bearing the hydrolysable organo-oxy silane group is ionically bound to the prepolymer, rather than covalently bound to the prepolymer.
  • the ionic based prepoiymers may suitably be made by for example the reaction of alkyl carboxylic acids with alkyl amines, where one or both of the reagents is terminated by a water hydrolysable organo-oxy silane group, to produce a salt complex, where a salt complex is defined as a prepolymer containing ionic linkages.
  • ionic based prepoiymers The advantage conferred by ionic based prepoiymers is that the wetting out characteristics of the prepolymer are improved.
