BIOCOMPATIBLE ADHESIVE MATERIAL, ADHESIVE SURGICAL PROSTHESIS, AND RELATED KIT

摘要

The present invention concerns a biocompatible adhesive material comprising or consisting of at least one sheet of carbon nanotubes, or buckypaper. The present invention further concerns an adhesive surgical prosthesis (10; 20), comprising a layer (12; 21) of surgical prosthesis having two surfaces, characterised in that it is provided on one of said two surfaces with one or more elements (11; 22, 23) of such biocompatible adhesive material. The present invention still concerns the uses of the biocompatible adhesive material for the preparation of implantable elements for supporting biological tissues, for the preparation of topic carrier of one or more substances and/or one or more compositions, for the preparation of elements for fixing surgical devices, and for the preparation of adhesive surgical prostheses (10; 20). The present invention furthermore concerns a kit for the preparation of at least one adhesive surgical prosthesis (10; 20).
