Adhesive protein foam for surgical and/or therapeutic uses

A kit for preparing a biocompatible fluid adhesive protein foam, which is bioresorbable and nontoxic, for surgical and/or therapeutic use, in particular for protecting/cicatrizing tissue wounds and attaching biological tissues to each other or an implanted biomaterial, said kit comprising:

• a potentially adhesive protein compound which can be polymerized/crosslinked, solubilized in aqueous medium, in a first container;
• a polymerization/crosslinking agent for forming a biocompatible fluid adhesive protein matrix, which is bioresorbable and nontoxic, in a second container;
• a biocompatible and nontoxic gas or mixture of gases, either in the first, second and/or a third container;
• optional means for extemporaneously mixing the constituents, protein compound in aqueous solution and polymerization/crosslinking agent for forming the adhesive matrix, and, said gas or mixture of gases;
• whereby the protein foam is obtained in a ready to use form.
