INTRODUCTION The use of tissue adhesives can be an alternative to suture fixation of the mesh, but experience in their use is very limited. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective descriptive study was conducted on a group of 35 patients with inguinal hernias repaired by sutureless hernioplasty (20 by open and 15 by endoscopic), the prosthesis was fixed with a synthetic adhesive (n-hexyl-α-cyanoac...

In situ forming hydrogels with catechol groups as tissue reactive functionalities are interesting bioinspired materials for tissue adhesion. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)–catechol tissue glues have been intensively investigated for this purpose. Different cross-linking mechanisms (oxidative or metal complexation) and cross-linking conditions (pH, oxidant concentration, etc.) have been studied in ...

Tissue Adhesives In article number 2105338, Donghee Son, Changhyun Pang, and co-workers report an electrostatic–mechanical synergistic multiscale tissue adhesive for sustainable residue-free bioelectronics interfaces. To deduce the mechanism, a thermodynamic model based on tailored elastomer–hydrogel combinatory architecture is proposed. This patch also successfully demonstrates reliable real-t...

UNLABELLED Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder is a clinical condition characterized by progressive limitation of active and passive mobility of the glenohumeral joint, generally associated with high levels of pain. Although the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis is based mainly on clinical examination, different imaging modalities including arthrography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance, and magne...

BACKGROUND To investigate pulp response to the application of two types adhesive systems (total-etch and self-etch) in human premolar teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cavities limited to enamel walls in all margins with 2.5 mm depth were prepared on buccal surfaces of thirty three human premolars. The cavities were treated with the following adhesive. Single Bond (SB) and Prompt L-Pop (PLP). The ...

The biocompatibility and bioresorption of 3-methoxybutylcyanoacrylate (MBCA) was evaluated in vivo using female Wistar albino rats. MBCA was found to elicit slight to moderate tissue reaction similar to isobutylcyanoacrylate (IBCA) which has been sold commercially as a surgical adhesive (Bucrylate@, Ethicon). MBCA was judged less reactive to tissue than ethylcyanoacrylate (ECA). The MBCA implan...
