Medical adhesive and methods of tissue adhesion

摘要

A method of adhering biological tissue that includes applying a bio-degradable adhesive to the tissue. The adhesive includes a moisture-curable, isocyanate-functional component prepared by reacting (a) a multi-functional isocyanate component and (b) a multi-functional active hydrogen component that includes at least 30% by weight, based upon the total weight of the multi-functional active hydrogen component, of a multi-functional active hydrogen reactant having an equivalent weight less than 100. The ratio R of active hydrogen groups to isocyanate groups can be less than 1.0.
