Claims11
A method of adhering a first soft tissue to a second soft tissue using a tissue adhesive comprising an aqueous solution, α-TCP, and a phosphorylated amino acid, wherein the tissue adhesive does not comprise a silicate compound, wherein the method comprises:
- a. applying the tissue adhesive to the first soft tissue or to the second soft tissue and optionally leave it for a suitable period of time;
- b. bringing the first tissue and the second tissue into contact with each other;
- c. optionally applying a pressure on the first and second tissue for a suitable period of time;
- and
- d. letting the tissue adhesive cure;
- wherein the amount of phosphorylated amino acid is 40-90 wt % of the solid content.
