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

The invention relates to a medicotechnical product having an antimicrobial finish of a complex material of metal nanoparticles and macromolecules, the macromolecules being formed at least partially from a polyamino acid.
