  • Adhesive applicator tips with improved flow properties
    Patent number: 6637967
    Abstract: An article of manufacture for dispensing an adhesive material, such as a synthetic or semi-synthetic polymerizable or cross-linkable monomer material, includes a container body, and a porous applicator tip having a proximal end that is attached to the container body, and a distal end located away from the container body, wherein the adhesive material is located in the container body in a non-contacting relationship with the applicator tip prior to dispensing the material. A flow pattern of the adhesive material within or on the applicator tip is controlled by providing one or more cuts in the applicator tip to alter flow properties of the adhesive material through the applicator tip.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 29, 2002
    Date of Patent: October 28, 2003
    Assignee: Closure Medical Corporation

  • Absorbable adhesive compositions
    Patent number: 6620846
    Abstract: A method of treating living tissue includes applying to living tissue a biocompatible adhesive composition containing at least one alkyl ester cyanoacrylate monomer and a polymerization initiator or accelerator, wherein the polymerization initiator or accelerator is a quaternary amine.

  • Absorbable adhesive compositions
    Publication number: 20020037310
    Abstract: A method of treating living tissue includes applying to living tissue a biocompatible adhesive composition, where the adhesive composition contains at least one alkyl ester cyanoacrylate monomer and a polymerization initiator or accelerator, wherein the polymerization initiator or accelerator is a quaternary amine, or where the adhesive composition contains a mixture of two monomer species having different absorption rates.
