Methods for preparing a PEG composition by co-precipitation of two or more components to produce a substantially homogenous powder. According to some embodiments, the two or more components are at least and partially soluble in a solvent, and at least one component is a functionalized PEG. Contacting the at least two component with the solvent at least partially dissolves the components which are then co-precipitated. The resulting product is substantially homogenous, unlike product made by other methods. The PEG composition may be co-precipitated with additional compounds, such as a colorant like indocyanine green.

Co-precipitation method

Devices and methods are disclosed for delivering sealing compound to a wound in animals, including humans. Such wound sealing is important after deep skin penetrating lacerations or subsequent to internal wounds. The apparatus utilize an aerosol dispensing system that both mixes and applies a multi-part sealant compound. The aerosol system includes a plurality of sealant component chambers, a source of pressurized gas, an aerosol mixing head, a pressure regulator, a pneumatic switch, and a component pumping mechanism. The aerosol system, either a reusable or a disposable device, is further provided with a system that keeps dry components from liquid components and then automatically mixes the liquid and dry components prior to application. The system provides for easy control over the application, inexpensive manufacture, and simplified preparation, thus minimizing the time needed for application and enhancing the potential outcomes of the patient.

Method and apparatus for wound sealant application

A blended electrophilic material with a first component having a functionality of at least three and a second component having a functionality of two is mixed with a nucleophilic material. The blended electrophilic material cross-links with the nucleophilic material to form a non-liquid, three dimensional structure which can applied, e.g., as an adhesion barrier.
