Abstract
An adhesive delivery system described herein includes a reservoir of flowable adhesive and a delivery conduit with one or more apertures following a pattern. The one or more apertures of the delivery conduit preferably follow a curve. A prosthesis can be formed including an attachment surface and an adhesive delivery conduit associated with the attachment surface. The adhesive delivery conduit has at least one aperture and a central lumen connected to the aperture. The adhesive delivery systems are useful for the formation of medical devices, the implantation of medical devices and for wound healing.
Claims55
An adhesive delivery system comprising a delivery conduit with one or more apertures and a central lumen connecting with the one or more apertures, wherein the one or more apertures follow a pattern.
A prosthesis comprising an attachment surface and an adhesive delivery conduit associated with the attachment surface, the adhesive delivery conduit having at least one aperture and a central lumen connected to the aperture.
A method for preparing a prosthesis for implantation, the prosthesis comprising an attachment surface, the method comprising placing a delivery conduit with at least one aperture along the attachment surface.
