An adhesive composition comprising a cyanoacrylate and a solidifying polymer. The composition may further comprise a hydrophilic material, e.g. silica particles, and/or one or more polymerisation inhibitors. The adhesive composition may be disposed on a surgical mesh. The surgical mesh carrying the adhesive composition may be used for hernia repair.

An on-body drug delivery device having a housing carried by a substrate. The device includes an adhesive module placed over at least a portion of said device to provide added securement of the device to the patient's body.

An aerosol spray device includes a container having first and second fluid reservoirs disposed therein that are divided from one another. The first fluid reservoir holds a first mixture including a first aerosol propellant and a first part of a silicone based topical skin adhesive that is dissolved in the first aerosol propellant. The second fluid reservoir holds a second mixture including a second aerosol propellant and a second part of the silicone based topical skin adhesive that is dissolved in the second aerosol propellant. An aerosol spray dispensing system is connected with the container, which is configured to combine the first and second mixtures to form the silicone based topical skin adhesive and dispense the silicone based topical skin adhesive from the container as an aerosol spray.

Methods for preparing a PEG composition by co-precipitation of two or more components to produce a substantially homogenous powder. According to some embodiments, the two or more components are at least and partially soluble in a solvent, and at least one component is a functionalized PEG. Contacting the at least two component with the solvent at least partially dissolves the components which are then co-precipitated. The resulting product is substantially homogenous, unlike product made by other methods. The PEG composition may be co-precipitated with additional compounds, such as a colorant like indocyanine green.
