Abstract
Abstract A sheet material, coated with a surgical adhesive comprising an NCO-terminated urethane prepolymer, is used for bonding of tissues, with improved handleability. Surgical instruments, comprising a non-adherent material towards an NCO-terminated urethane prepolymer, are used for application of surgical adhesive. Such instruments, comprising a rod tapered so that the tip can be partly inserted into blood vessel, are suitable for anastomosis of blood vessel.
