  • BIOADHESIVE FOR TISSUE REPAIR
    Publication number: 20150283293
    Abstract: The invention provides a bioadhesive composition comprising a polysaccharide and an energy converter, wherein the energy converter is activated by non-UV light. The composition may be prepared by dissolving the polysaccharide and the energy converter in an aqueous acidic solution. The composition, in the form of a film or a gel, may be used for repairing a discontinuity in an area of tissue or for joining tissue.
    Type: Application

  • Method of tissue repair
    Publication number: 20050079997
    Abstract: A method for joining tissue comprising aligning and abutting edges of the tissue to be joined applying a biodegradable, biological solder or an analogue thereof, across the edges and exposing the solder to an energy source under conditions which provide transfer of energy from the source to the solder to cause the solder to bond to the tissue surface adjacent the edges to provide a weld holding the edges together.
