Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim 28 words
A compound selected from the group consisting of the N-acylurea and O-acylisourea derivative of hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof; said derivative being free of chemically bound collagen.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 28 words
A compound selected from the group consisting of the N-acylurea and O-acylisourea derivative of hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof; said derivative being free of chemically bound collagen.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 31 words
The compound of claim 1 wherein the hyaluronic acid has a weight average molecular weight of from about 100,000 to about 12,000,000 Daltons determined by calculation from the limiting viscosity number.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
The compound of claim 1 prepared by reaction of the acid or salt with a member selected from the class consisting of a carbodiimide and a biscarbodiimide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 38 words
The compound of claim 3 wherein the member is a carbodiimide selected from those of the formula: R¹-N=C=N-R² wherein R¹ and R² are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, substituted-­hydrocarbyl, alkoxy, aryloxy and alkaryloxy.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 17 words
The compound of claim 4 wherein at least one of R¹ and R² is an amino-substituted hydrocarbyl.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 10 words
The compound of claim 5 wherein the member is 1-­ethyl-3-(6-benzyloxycarbonylaminohexyl)-carbodiimide.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 11 words
The compound of claim 5 wherein the member is 1-(3-­dimethylaminopropyl)-3(6-benzoyloxyl- carbonylaminohexyl)­carbodiimide.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 10 words
The compound of claim 5 wherein the member is 1-(3-­dimethylaminopropyl-3-ethylcarbodiimide.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 19 words
The compund of claim 1 which is the reaction product of 1-ethyl-3-tridecyl-carbodiimide and hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 20 words
The compound of claim 1 which is the reaction product of 1-ethyl-3-octyl carbodiimide and hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 55 words
The compound of claim 3 wherein the member is a biscarbodiimide selected from those of the formula: R¹ - N = C = N - R² - N = C = N - R³ wherein R¹ amd R² have the same meanings ascribed to them in claim 4 and R³ has the meaning given R¹.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 10 words
The compound of claim 11 wherein the member is p-­phenylenebis(ethyl)carbodiimide.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 10 words
The compound of claim 11 wherein the member is 1,6-hexylenebis(ethyl)carbodiimide.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 5 words
The N-acylurea of claim 1.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 5 words
The O-acylisourea of claim 1.
Claim 17
Independent Claim 17 words
A device which comprises a water-insoluble N-­acylurea or an O-acylisourea derivative of hyaluronic acid and a biscarbodiimide.
Claim 18
Independent Claim 17 words
A device which comprises a water-insoluble N-­acylurea or an O-acylisourea derivative of hyaluronic acid and a biscarbodiimide.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim 12 words
A water-soluble N-acylurea or O-acylisourea derivative of hyaluronic acid and a carbodiimide.
