Abstract

A medical adhesive composition particularly suited for use as a wound or surgical incision closure, sealant, adhesive or the like for living tissue. Advantageously, the adhesive composition is applied as a liquid and quickly polymerizes into a durable film, coating, or layer which exhibits desirable properties including, but not limited to, strength, flexibility, moisture vapor transmission and oxygen permeability. Kits including the adhesive composition, an applicator and optionally an adherable substrate such as a mesh are described along with methods for preparing the kits. The adhesive compositions are able to readily hold skin edges of wounds or surgical incisions closed in order to provide a layer of protection against harmful organisms that can cause infection.

IPC Classes  ?

• A61L 24/06 - Surgical adhesives or cementsAdhesives for colostomy devices containing macromolecular materials obtained by reactions only involving carbon-to-carbon unsaturated bonds
• A61B 17/00 - Surgical instruments, devices or methods

Goods & Services

Medical adhesives for binding wounds; Medical adhesives for binding internal tissue; Adhesive bandages; Medical adhesive strips for closing wounds or incisions Medical and surgical apparatus and instruments for use in wound closing procedures; Surgical and medical apparatus and instruments for use in general surgery; Surgical mesh comprised primarily of artificial materials

Abstract

An applicator is provided for a flowable media, particularly an adhesive contained in a container and the applicator includes an elongate body member having an internal cavity that holds the container. The cavity has a distal end with a breaking means that is actuated by an axial force. Various embodiments of the actuator are shown to apply the force, including a wire cracker and a molded integral handle member with a lever linkage that bears against a ram which holds the ampoule and having a spring arm that rides within the cavity to oppose a pivoting force on the handle. These embodiments also enable single handed use.
