Surgical tissue fusion instrument and support structure having two gripping structures which are movable relative to each other and which are designed to bring together biological tissue sections that are to be connected to each other, with heat-generating means which are assigned to the gripping structures and, during tissue fusion, cause heat to be introduced in the area of a connection site of the biological tissue sections, and also with a support structure which is held between the gripping structures and, during tissue fusion, is operatively connected to the tissue sections. The support structure has at least one additional physical functional structure for aiding or promoting the tissue fusion.

Surgical tissue fusion instrument and support structure for same

Surgical tissue fusion instrument having two gripping structures which are movable relative to each other, are designed for gripping and bringing together biological tissue sections, and are assigned heat-generating means designed in such a way that tissue fusion takes place between the biological tissue sections by heat being supplied in the area of the gripping structures. At least one gripping structure is assigned a fluid-conducting system, which is designed to supply at least one liquid or flowable additive to the tissue sections during a tissue fusion process.

Surgical tissue fusion instrument

A medical device in the form of a nonwoven wound dressing includes rotospun fibers including at least one synthetic and bioabsorbable polymer and at least one hydrophilic and/or tissue-adhesive polymer, and a method of producing the medical device including using rotospinning to produce fibers from a fiber raw material including at least one synthetic and bioabsorbable polymer and at least one hydrophilic and/or tissue-adhesive polymer.

Medical device and method for the production thereof

A tissue fusion agent includes a particulate and/or fibrous flock material, wherein the fibrous flock material includes monofilament flock fibers and has a fiber length of 100 &#x3bc;m to 3 mm. A discharge device can contain the tissue fusion agent and a surgical system can includes the tissue fusion agent or the discharge device and a tissue fusion instrument.

Tissue fusion agent

A tissue fusion agent includes a supporting element and a flock material. A surgical system includes the tissue fusion agent and a tissue fusion instrument. A method of producing the tissue fusion agent includes a) coating a supporting element with an adhesive, and b) flocking the adhesive-coated supporting element with a flock material while the adhesive is moist, adhesive or tacky, or after activation of the adhesive.

A planar implant for replacement of biological tissues includes a layered structure including a) a lyophilized pericardium layer of biological origin, and b) at least one sponge-like layer of lyophilized extracellular protein.

Planar implant

An absorbent medical body for removing wound fluids from human and/or animal body cavities includes a material which holds the absorbent body together in a compressed form and can be removed upon contact with a biocompatible liquid.

A flat implant, particularly a hernia mesh, has the form of a textile net having an opening and made from non-resorbable monofilament yarns. The net includes yarns of different thicknesses which run parallel to each other.

Flat implant, particularly a hernia mesh

An adhesive composition for use in surgical therapy includes at least the following components a) and b): a) a liquid mixture including cyanoactrylate monomers and at least one plasticizer, where the proportion of the at least one plasticizer in component a) is greater than 10% by weight based on the total weight of component a), and b) an aqueous liquid including at least one compound from the group of borate salt, basic amino acid, gelatin and gelatin derivative.

Adhesive compositions for use in surgical therapy

The invention relates to a medicotechnical product having an antimicrobial finish consisting of a complex material of metal nanoparticles and macromolecules, the macromolecules being at least partially formed from amphiphilically modified polyamino acids which contain amino acid units, which aside from the functional groups bonded in the peptide bond contain at least one further functional group and at least some of these groups are modified with substances bearing hydrophobic radicals via covalent bonds. The hydrophobic radicals are bonded by addition of substances bearing epoxy groups to the at least one further functional group and/or via at least one amino group of an amino acid unit bearing at least one amino group as a further functional group with maintenance of an amino function on the polyamino acids. The invention furthermore relates to the production of the complex material and of the medicotechnical product.
