An article, such as a tissue bonding article, includes a flexible material, a polymerization initiator or rate modifier disposed in or on the flexible material, and a polymerizable adhesive composition permeated throughout at least a portion of the flexible material, where the polymerization initiator or rate modifier is a polymerization initiator or rate modifier for the polymerizable adhesive composition.

Adhesive-containing wound closure device and method

A tissue bonding article includes a flexible material, an adhesive substance applied over at least a portion of a bottom side of the flexible material, and a polymerizable adhesive composition permeated throughout at least a portion of the flexible material.

An applicator/dispenser assembly for dispensing and/or applying an adhesive material comprises: a first body portion and a second body portion, at least one of the first and second body portions being movable relative to the other of the first and second body portions; a cavity in at least one of the first and second body portions; and a piercing or breaking member arranged on one of the first and second body portions. Movement of one of the first and second body portions relative to the other of the first and second body portions moves the piercing or breaking member into the cavity. When a container of adhesive material is at least partially disposed within the cavity, movement of one of the first and second body portions relative to the other moves the piercing or breaking member to rupture the container for dispensing and/or applying the adhesive material.

Applicators, dispensers and methods for dispensing and applying adhesive material

Liquid coating compositions are provided that comprise siloxane containing polymer, volatile polydimethylsiloxane, and aliphatic hydrocarbon. The liquid coating compositions preferably comprise from 18-55 weight % of volatile polydimethylsiloxane, from 5-55 weight % of aliphatic hydrocarbon, from 1-40 weight % of siloxane containing polymer, and from 0-15 weight % of adjuvant.

Liquid coating compositions

Biocompatible polymers and adhesives have a cyanoacrylic core and other substituents such as therapeutic agents, targeting moieties, imaging agents, amino acid residues or other organic moieties. Exemplary uses of inventive compositions include use as sealants and adhesives for medical uses, and as polymeric formulations for biocompatible implants and matrices and drug delivery.

Biocompatible polymers and adhesives: compositions, methods of making and uses related thereto

A method of making a sterile adhesive composition includes placing a mixture of a polymerizable adhesive monomer and a thickening agent in a container, sealing the container, and sterilizing the mixture and the container. The method provides superior viscosity for the monomer composition. An adhesive composition includes 2-octyl cyanoacrylate and at least one thickener. The sterile adhesive composition is particularly useful as a medical adhesive and can comprise 1,1-disubstituted ethylene monomers, such as &agr;-cyanoacrylates.

Sterilized cyanoacrylate solutions containing thickeners

An article of manufacture for dispensing an adhesive material, such as a synthetic or semi-synthetic polymerizable or cross-linkable monomer material, includes a container body, and a porous applicator tip having a proximal end that is attached to the container body, and a distal end located away from the container body, wherein the adhesive material is located in the container body in a non-contacting relationship with the applicator tip prior to dispensing the material. A flow pattern of the adhesive material within or on the applicator tip is controlled by providing one or more cuts in the applicator tip to alter flow properties of the adhesive material through the applicator tip.

Adhesive applicator tips with improved flow properties

A method of treating living tissue includes applying to living tissue a biocompatible adhesive composition containing at least one alkyl ester cyanoacrylate monomer and a polymerization initiator or accelerator, wherein the polymerization initiator or accelerator is a quaternary amine.
