Abstract

The use of adhesives in surgery is an old but mostly unfulfilled dream (Donkerwolcke et al., 1998). Compared to conventional bonding techniques employed in surgery today like stitching, fixing with screws, pins, and plates, gluing has several advantages because it represents a fast and uncomplicated technique that causes no or only slight injuries of surrounding tissue and enables a homogenous load distribution between bonded materials (Rimpler, 1996). If such an adhesive would be gradually self-degrading in the body, newly formed tissue could replace the adhesive during the healing process and a complete regeneration of the damaged tissue would be possible. A gradual degradation of the adhesive would also maintain the necessary bonding strength within the tissue repair period and finally no foreign material would remain in the body.
