  • Publication number: 20240164950
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a cannula that can establish fluid communication with a suction source, and a wound closure path dimensioned to cover a wound in skin. The wound closure patch can receive a topical adhesive to adhere to the skin and form a microbial barrier over the wound. The wound closure patch defines a channel. The wound closure patch includes a top surface, a bottom surface defining at least one channel interposed between the top surface and the bottom surface, and a fluid coupling section in fluid communication with the channel. The fluid coupling section can couple with the cannula to thereby establish fluid communication between the cannula, the channel, and the at least one opening defined by the bottom surface.

  • Publication number: 20240164777
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a cannular defining a lumen and a wound closure device. The cannula can couple with a suction source to establish fluid communication between the suction source and the lumen. The cannula includes a distal portion defining at least one aperture such that the at least one aperture is in fluid communication with the lumen and an exterior surface of the distal portion. The wound closure device can cover a wound in skin. The wound closure device can receive a layer of topical adhesive to adhere to the skin and form a microbial barrier over the wound. The wound closure device includes a cannula housing defining a channel that can receive a distal portion of the cannula. The cannula can be inserted within the cannula housing to provide fluid communication between the suction source and the wound after formation of the microbial barrier.

  • Publication number: 20160089145
    Abstract: The invention is related to wound closure devices, systems and methods that comprise a wound closure strip comprising a three-part release liner assembly that permits accurate placement of the wound closure strip during the approximation of opposing wound surfaces while preserving the integrity of the device's adhesive. Preferably, after the wound closure strip has been applied to approximate a wound, a flowable, polymerizable adhesive is applied to the wound closure strip to form a flexible, wound closure composite device (i.e., wound closure strip/polymerized adhesive composite).

  • Patent number: 8790032
    Abstract: An applicator/dispenser assembly for dispensing and/or applying an adhesive material comprises: a first body portion and a second body portion, at least one of the first and second body portions being movable relative to the other of the first and second body portions; a cavity in at least one of the first and second body portions; and a piercing or breaking member arranged on one of the first and second body portions. Movement of one of the first and second body portions relative to the other of the first and second body portions moves the piercing or breaking member into the cavity. When a container of adhesive material is at least partially disposed within the cavity, movement of one of the first and second body portions relative to the other moves the piercing or breaking member to rupture the container for dispensing and/or applying the adhesive material.

  • Publication number: 20080241249
    Abstract: An adhesive composite composition is provided including one or more polymerizable monomers and one or more metal stearates. The one or more polymerizable monomers may be a cyanoacrylate monomer. The adhesive composite composition may further comprise a plasticizer, an initiator, a rate modifier, a stabilizer, a colorant, a heat dissipating agent, or other additives. Methods for the application of the adhesive composite compositions to living tissue are also provided. The adhesive composite composition provides an adhesive composite material upon polymerization which is a polymer matrix entrapping the metal stearate. Polymerization of the adhesive composite composition at a site on living tissue provides an adhesive composite material which promotes microcirculation and tissue growth at the site of application of the adhesive composite composition.

  • Publication number: 20080003196
    Abstract: An adhesive composition is provided including one or more polymerizable cyanoacrylate monomers and boron trifluoride as a stabilizer or complexing agent. The adhesive composition may also include or be used with a decomplexing agent, particularly one or more quaternary ammonium fluoride salts or one or more quaternary ammonium ether salts. A polymerization initiator or accelerator may also be used. The viscosity of the adhesive composition may be controlled by addition of a thickening agent which may be a polymer or copolymer catalyzed by a boron trifluoride complex or compound. Methods for the application of the adhesive compositions to living tissue are also provided.

  • Patent number: 6607631
    Abstract: A polymerizable monomer adhesive composition includes a 1,1-disubstituted ethylene monomer and at least one slip additive, where the slip additive causes a polymer film formed from the monomer to have a lower coefficient of friction than in an absence of the slip additive. The slip additive can be selected from, inter alia, fluorinated monomers or polymers, fluorinated additives, siloxane-containing monomers or polymers, siloxane-containing additives, fluorinated siloxanes, and long chain fatty acid esters. The slip additive can also form a second phase in a resultant polymer film, where the second phase is soluble in the monomer but is insoluble or substantially insoluble in the polymer.
