A moisture curable, isocyanate-functional medical adhesive and methods of tissue adhesion

Abstract From the Canadian patent

An adhesive including a mixture of isocyanate capped molecules formed by reacting multi-isocyanate functional molecules with multi-functional precursor molecules including terminal functional groups selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, a primary amino group and a secondary amino group. Preferably, the functional groups are hydroxyl groups. The multifunctional precursor compounds are biocompatible. Multiamine functional precursors of the multi-isocyanate functional molecules are also biocompatible. As discussed, above, the mixture of molecules preferably has an average isocyanate functionality of at least 2.1 and more preferably, has an , average isocyanate …
