Abstract
A biocompatible monomer composition includes at least one monomer, which forms a medically acceptable polymer, and an effective amount of at least one heat dissipating agent sufficient to reduce exothermic polymerization temperature increase of the composition. The heat dissipating agent enhances patient comfort and prevents necrosis of living tissue normally encountered with such medical adhesives.
