ADHESIVE COMPOUNDS AND METHODS USE FOR HERNIA REPAIR

摘要

The invention describes new synthetic medical adhesives and films which exploit the key components of natural marine mussel adhesive proteins. An exemplary method of hernia repair, comprises a) providing a subject having a hernia; b) providing a construct comprising an adhesive compound and a support wherein said adhesive compound is a multi-hydroxyl phenyl derivative polymer, a multi-methoxy phenyl derivative polymer, a combination multi-hydroxyl and multi-methoxy phenyl derivative polymer, a mono-methoxy and mono-hydroxyl phenyl derivative polymer or a combination thereof; and c) affixing said construct to said subject to repair said hernia.
