Abstract:
A patch for treating vascular ulcers caused by excessive enzymatic activity may include a substrate configured to span a vascular ulcer as well as a linking material that is disposed relative to the substrate and has an affinity for an enzyme involved in causing the vascular ulcer. A magnetic material may be coupled to the linking material. In some cases, the enzymes involved in causing the vascular ulcer may become coupled to the linking material and thus become coupled to the magnetic material so that that the enzymes can be removed by applying a magnetic field in the proximity of the vascular ulcer. The enzymes may include matrix metalloproteinases.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of treating a vascular ulcer in which enzymatic activity contributes to formation of the vascular ulcer, the method comprising:\n disposing a treatment material relative to the vascular ulcer, the treatment material including a linking material coupled with a magnetic material, the linking material configured to chelate a metal ion complexed by a matrix metalloproteinase; allowing the treatment material to diffuse into the vascular ulcer so that the linking material has time to chelate the metal ion and couple to the matrix metalloproteinase; and subsequently subjecting the vascular ulcer to an attractive magnetic force that draws the magnetic material and the chelated matrix metalloproteinase out of the vascular ulcer.
