A novel macromer or mixture thereof is described herein, comprising benzoyl isocyanate terminal moieties and at least two residues of a water-soluble polymer having a molecular weight ranging from 80 to 10,000 adjacent to the carbonyl group of the benzoyl isocyanate moieties, thereby forming at least two ester linkages in the macromer or mixture thereof. A method for making a polyisocyanate macromer is also described herein.

Diisocyanate terminated macromer and formulation thereof for use as an internal adhesive or sealant

The present invention is directed to a medically acceptable formulation comprising a diisocyanate terminated macromer or mixture thereof, and bio-absorbable desiccant comprising a hygroscopic and/or hydrophilic or combination thereof. The present invention is also directed to methods of use for such formulations for medical procedures.
