The present invention relates to a hemostatic absorbable composition, comprising: a flowable plurality of separate aggregates each comprising: a plurality of absorbable carrier particles coated on a surface thereof by a plurality of smaller particles comprising an absorbable supplemental hemostasis-promoting agent. In some embodiments, the absorbable carrier particles comprise gelatin or collagen, and the supplemental hemostasis-promoting agent comprises oxidized cellulose, oxidized regenerated cellulose, carboxylic oxidized cellulose, carboxylic oxidized regenerated cellulose, thrombin, or tranexamic acid.

The present disclosure provides medical products including an adhesive containing a carboxyalkyl cellulose and sorbitol. Such medical products can find use as a bolster material for use in conjunction with a surgical fastening device such as a stapler. Such adhesives may include advantageous properties such as the ability to retain tack while stored under a peelable cover. Related methods of manufacture and use are also described.

The present invention is directed to hemostatic compositions comprising at least partially integrated agglomerated oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) fibers, fibrinogen, and thrombin and methods of forming a powdered hemostatic composition, comprising the steps of: forming a suspension of a mixture comprising particles of fibrinogen, thrombin, ORC fibers in a non-aqueous low boiling solvent; spraying the suspension through a nozzle onto a substrate, allowing the non-aqueous solvent to evaporate; separating from the substrate and sieving the composition.

A nanoglue is formed with one or more bioadhesive polymers, one or more dendrimers, and optionally one or more therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic agents. The bioadhesive polymers and dendrimers are modified with functional groups to permit crosslinking upon one or more stimuli, e.g., ultraviolet irradiation, and form hydrogel in situ at tissue sites. In the repair of corneal wounds, the nanoglue leads to improved rate of healing with less scarring and less inflammation, compared to non-treated cornea or ones treated with sutures. Therapeutic agents can be covalently conjugated to the precursor components and be delivered to specific eye compartments, providing a more efficacious treatment formulation of ocular disorders than delivering drugs in their free forms. Methods of making and using the hydrogel and hydrogel precursor compositions are also provided.
