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 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, agitating and shearing said suspension in a high shear mixing reactor, adding water to allow particles to agglomerate, allowing the non-aqueous solvent to evaporate, drying and sieving the composition; and thus forming the powdered hemostatic composition.

Disclosed are a biosealant system and method for treatment of a pulmonary air leak comprising applying the biosealant system to the locus of the air leak.

Provided herein are stable liquid sealant formulations comprising fibrin monomers and a reversible fibrin polymerization blocking agent, methods of preparing and using the formulations.

Bioadhesives and crosslinked gels therefrom are disclosed. The bioadhesives can be applied to a vessel for occluding the vessel. The present disclosure also describes kits that comprise the various components for preparing and applying the bioadhesives. Bioadhesives of the present disclosure include: (i) a biopolymer having one or more first chemically reactive amine groups; (ii) a biocompatible crosslinker having at least two second chemically reactive groups that can chemically react with the one or more first chemically reactive amine groups of the biopolymer; and (iii) a biocompatible rheological modifier.

The present invention provides tissue sealant compositions and vasculature closure devices useful for the optical detection of tissue seal and/or clot formation. Compositions and devices of the present invention comprise optical dyes which undergo an observable change as the compositions and/or devices are incorporated into a tissue seal and/or clot, for example a change in fluorescence quantum yield and/or a change in visual color including a change in emission and/or absorption wavelength. Tissue sealants and vasculature closure devices of the present invention are useful for visualizing seal and/or clot formation, for example, during or after surgical procedures, after catheter removal, etc. The present invention further provides methods for formation and optical detection of tissue seals or vasculature puncture closures as well as medical kits useful for the formation and optical detection of tissue seals or vasculature puncture closures.

A dispensing device and cartridge for simultaneous delivery and mixing of multiple co-reactive materials, the cartridge having proximal and distal ends, and having an elongated holder body with substantially parallel longitudinal voids. Multiple syringe bodies are disposed parallel within the voids and multiple co-reactive materials are separately disposed in the syringe bodies. The dispensing device also includes a longitudinal housing which is structured and arranged to receive the cartridge.

The present invention relates to: an amorphous of spherical embolisation hydrogel having a degradation time that can be precisely controlled in blood vessels; and a preparation method therefor.

Hybrid proteins are described that include an amino acid sequence with at least two zipper-forming protein sequences and at least one flexible sequence from a spider silk protein sequence, in which each of the at least one flexible sequences is positioned between each pair of the at least two zipper-forming protein sequences to form a repeated sequence. The amino acid sequence also includes at least one mussel foot protein sequence positioned at a C-terminus or an N-terminus of the alternating repeated sequence. Also described are adhesive hydrogels and methods of forming the adhesive hydrogels using the hybrid proteins described herein.
