Abstract
A tissue adhesive with healing promotion properties formed from a mixture of natural polymers and an activating agent that enhances the adhesive properties of the natural polymer mixture is described. Use of an activating agent and a combination of the natural polymers is unique. The natural polymer tissue adhesive may be useful as a post-operative application for tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy surgery, as an internal tissue adhesive for surgery or wound repair or for application to a burn or skin donor site. For internal use, an optional treatment to improve resistance of the activated adhesive to body fluids is also described. The adhesive described not only functions as an adhesive but would also serve as a protective barrier when applied to surgery or skin sites. In addition, the natural polymers would promote healing due to the inherent properties of the polymers selected.
