Abstract:
A method of adhering biological tissue that includes applying a bio-degradable adhesive to the tissue. The adhesive includes a moisture-curable, isocyanate-functional component prepared by reacting (a) a multi-functional isocyanate component and (b) a multi-functional active hydrogen component that includes at least 30% by weight, based upon the total weight of the multi-functional active hydrogen component, of a multi-functional active hydrogen reactant having an equivalent weight less than 100. The ratio R of active hydrogen groups to isocyanate groups can be less than 1.0.
Abstract:
Biocompatible macromer compositions are provided including an isocyanate-functional polyalkylene oxide combined with at least one multi functional isocyanate as a first component, and a multi-amino functional compound possessing multiple primary amines as a second component. The isocyanate-functional polyalkylene oxide has pendant polyalkylene oxide groups.

Abstract:
Methods of providing a polymeric body within a subject are described. The methods comprise: (a) injecting a fluid that comprises a crosslinkable polymer into a container (for instance, a balloon) that is positioned within the subject; (b) crosslinking the crosslinkable polymer in the container, thereby forming a crosslinked polymeric body in the container; (c) optionally washing the crosslinked polymeric body in the container; and (d) releasing the crosslinked polymeric body within the subject. Other aspects of the present invention are directed to devices for performing the above methods, and to the wide variety of polymeric bodies that can be formed using the above methods. Examples include antiadhesive bodies, aneurism fillers, embolic bodies, bulking agents, tissue scaffolding, drug delivery bodies, and so forth.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an adhesive textile implant for parietal repair, which is used in the field of reconstructive surgery. According to the invention, the implant consists of a biocompatible textile structure comprising a coating or impregnation of a water-soluble biocompatible polymer composition having adhesive properties that remain when one such implant is placed in the tissues of the organism. The invention is suitable for use as a hernia repair implant, neurological patch, etc.
