A composition for use as a surgical adhesive for the adhesion of a material to a biological tissue, for the adhesion of biological tissues to one another, for the adhesion of a glue or of a substance to the surface of a biological tissue, as a surgical sealant, for blocking or plugging orifices created by a thread suture or staple suture or by a tissue resection, for blocking an orifice, an incision or a tear in a biological tissue, as a hemostatic agent for stopping bleeding, as a dressing on a biological tissue for covering and protecting a wound, for reinforcing a biological tissue, for attaching and stabilizing a biological tissue. The compositions include a polymerizable monomer with a phosphate function or a phosphonate function and a methacrylate function.

Various compositions of matter, methods of making compositions of matter, and methods of using compositions of matter, e.g. for inducing hemostasis, are disclosed. In some embodiments, a starting fibrin material is subjected to controlled hydrolysis, desirably base-catalyzed, to prepare a fibrin hydrolysate material with increased water sorption capacity. Such fibrin hydrolysate materials, alone or combined with one or more additional substances, can be used in the preparation of hemostasis promoting foams, powders or gels. In some embodiments, a starting dialdehyde starch material is subjected to controlled hydrolysis to prepare a dialdehyde starch hydrolysate material. Such dialdehyde starch hydrolysate materials, alone or combined with one or more additional substances, in some cases combined with a fibrin hydrolysate material, can be used in the preparation of hemostasis promoting foams, powders or gels.

The invention relates to a hemostatic composition comprising a mixture of cellulose-based short and long fibers, preparation and use thereof.

Provided are buffered adhesive compositions comprising a high molecular weight non-neutralized polymeric acid and a high molecular weight partially neutralized polymeric acid and products such as wound dressings and ostomy skin barriers incorporating the compositions.

Methods, compositions, and kits for adhering polymers and other materials to another material, and in particular to bone or bone-like structures or surfaces. A composition of matter includes a urethane dimethacrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer with a plurality of first polymer regions based on urethane dimethacrylate and a plurality of second polymer regions based on methyl methacrylate. The method includes placing an orthopedic joint implant having an attachment surface in a joint space, applying a first non-urethane-containing precursor, a second urethane-containing precursor, and a initiator to the attachment surface; contacting the first and second precursors and the initiator with the joint surface; and copolymerizing the first and second precursors and forming an adhesive copolymer and attaching the implant to the joint.

A surgical stapler end effector comprises a staple cartridge, an anvil, and a buttress assembly. The staple cartridge comprises a plurality of staples and a deck. The staple cartridge is operable to drive the staples through the deck. The anvil is movable from an open position toward the staple cartridge to reach a closed position. The anvil includes an underside having staple forming surface configured to receive staples driven through the deck. The buttress assembly comprises a buttress body and an adhesive material. The adhesive material comprises a polymer. The polymer is bioabsorbable. The polymer has an inherent viscosity at or below 3.0 dL/g.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to implantable objects and guiding devices, as well as recipient site preparation instruments, bone-implantable materials, and methods of fabrication and use thereof.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to implantable objects and guiding devices, as well as recipient site preparation instruments, bone-implantable materials, and methods of fabrication and use thereof.

An anti-curling film is provided. The anti-curling film includes a first portion and a second portion covering the first portion. The first portion includes polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) and a photoinitiator. The second portion includes polycaprolactone (PCL), gelatin, hyaluronic acid (HA), alginate (AA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or a combination thereof.

The disclosure provides a medical sealant glue capable of promoting wound healing and a preparation method thereof. The medical sealant glue is formed by covalent cross-linking of two components after being physically mixed by a mixing tool, wherein the first component is a nucleophilic component, and the second component is an electrophilic component. The medical sealant glue has a gelation time of 1-10 s, a swelling ratio of 0-100%, a bursting strength of 100-250 mmHg, and a degradation time of 0.5-300 days. The nucleophilic component of the medical sealant glue contains exosome or hyaluronic acid and chitosan, and thus the medical sealant glue not only has the effect of promoting wound healing, but also has antibacterial and anti-infection effects.
