摘要:
A sheet material, coated with a surgical adhesive comprising an NCO-terminated urethane prepolymer, is used for bonding of tissues, with improved handleability.Surgical instruments, comprising a non-adherent material towards an NCO-terminated urethane prepolymer, are used for application of surgical adhesive. Such instruments, comprising a rod tapered so that the tip can be partly inserted into blood vessel, are suitable for anastomosis of blood vessel.
摘要:
Photocurable glycosaminoglycan (GAG) derivatives and crosslinked glycosaminoglycans, which are highly safe and biocompatible, a method of preparing such photocurable GAG derivatives readily moldable by casting using a solvent when desired, by which method unreacted substances causative of adverse effects can be readily eliminated, and a method of producing the crosslinked GAGs and medical materials based on the photocurable GAG derivatives or crosslinked GAGs are provided. The photocurable GAG derivatives comprise a glycosaminoglycan and a photoreactive compound bound thereto and can be produced, for example, by subjecting hydroxyl or carboxyl groups of the glycosaminoglycan to esterification reaction or amidation reaction, respectively, with the photoreactive compound. The crosslinked GAGs are derived from the photocurable GAG derivatives by intermolecular crosslinking of the photoreactive compound bound thereto.

A device for controlling cell arrangement having a pattern composed of a cell adhesive surface and a cell non-adhesive surface, which has a good selectivity of cell adhesion and which can provide a fine pattern of cells in high resolution by culturing cells in a usual manner. The device is prepared by a process which comprises applying a photosensitive, cell adhesive or cell non-adhesive polymer to a surface having a reverse cell adhesivity property to that of the applied polymer, and patternwise irradiating a light to the photosensitive polymer layer followed by development; a process which comprises patternwise irradiating UV or radiation to a cell non-adhesive surface to produce a cell adhesive functional group such as carboxyl group or amino group in the irradiated portion; or a process which comprises patternwise irradiating UV or radiation to a cell adhesive or non-adhesive surface made of plastics to produce a polymerization initiation site in the irradiated portion, and graft-polymerizing at least one monomer having the reverse cell adhesivity property to the plastic surface to produce a polymer on the irradiated portion of plastic surface.

摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide a polymer best suited for use as a medical adhesive excellent in wet adhesion strength (water-resistant adhesive strength). In the present invention, a polymer capable of forming a cured film and useful as a medical adhesive, which has a viscosity at 37° C. of 0.5 to 2,000 Pa·s and shows a saturated water absorption of 0.2 to 5 ml/g, is used. The above-mentioned polymer preferably shows an initial water absorption rate of 0.01 to 0.5 ml/g·min, the wet elongation percentage of the cured film is preferably 100 to 1,500%, and the wet 100% modulus of the cured film is preferably 0.01 to 10 MPa. Additionally, it is preferable that the above-mentioned polymer contains oxyethylene groups and in which the oxyethylene group content is 30 to 100% by weight based on the weight of the polymer.

The present invention provides semi-spherical materials to be worn on the eyeball, such as contact lenses for visual acuity correction or medical treatment use, cornea protecting materials, controlled drug release contact lenses and the like, which comprise, as a main component, a glycosaminoglycan existing in the living body as an extracellular matrix component of connective tissues and satisfy various requirements such as dimentional stability, transparency, surface water wettability, tissue compatibility, oxygen permeability and the like. In other words, the material to be worn on the eyeball has a shape of semi-spherical surface compatible in shape with the mammalian eyeball and has biological and surface-physical compatibilities with ophthalmic tissues and comprises, as a main component, a substantially transparent photocured crosslinked-glycosaminoglycan obtained by allowing photoreactive groups covalently bonded to a glycosaminoglycan to crosslink mutually by photoirradiation.
