[0207] Example 1: Vascular Surgery
[0208] Applicator assemblies according to the invention have been used in revascularization procedures performed in a porcine model. After clamping, a 2-3 cm linear incision was made on the left carotid artery. ePTFE ( Vascular graft, standard wall, 8 mm diameter) was sutured over the incision. The artery has been unclamped and blood leakage from the sutured hole is observed. The vessel is then clamped again. A dispensing device consisting of a 1 ml syringe is connected to the Figure 8 to Figure 10The syringe contains PGSA (poly(glycerol) sebacate acrylic anhydride - US8143042). The suction tube was connected to an external suction device connected to a vacuum line (capable of generating a low pressure of approximately -0.8 bar). The applicator is then used to apply PGSA to the suture. The applicator effectively eliminates blood at the target site, thereby enhancing contact between the PGSA and the underlying tissue. After coverin...

[0209] Example 2: Urinary Tract Surgery
[0210] A 30 cm abdominal incision was made in the piglet model. Expose the bladder and urethra. The bladder was emptied before a transverse incision was made to separate the bladder and urethra, thereby simulating a radical resection scenario. A Foley catheter (supplied by BBraun) was placed through the urethra and deployed in the bladder. To join the organs, 4 sutures were applied; a small amount of leakage of urine and blood was observed from the anastomotic area. A dispensing device comprising a 1 milliliter (mL) syringe containing PGSAA (poly(glycerol) sebacate acrylic anhydride - WO2016202985) was connected to the applicator according to the invention. The applicator is then connected to an external suction device connected to a vacuum line (capable of generating a low pressure of approximately -0.8 bar). PGSAA was applied over the anastomotic area. By using Gecko's proprietary light-activated pen (Setalum TM ) at 30 seconds...
example 3
[0216] The test was performed in vitro using transverse sections of bovine femurs. The periosteum of the bone was removed and cut into 1.5 cm x 2.5 cm rectangular pieces for easier testing. The bone rectangles were hydrated by immersion in phosphate buffered saline. A dispensing device comprising a 1 milliliter (mL) syringe containing PGSA (poly(glycerol) sebacate acrylic anhydride) was attached to the applicator according to the invention. The applicator is then connected to an external suction device connected to a vacuum line (capable of generating a low pressure of approximately -1.0 to -0.7 bar). First, PGSA was applied over a 1 cm x 1 cm area of the bone with the vacuum turned off, and using Gecko's proprietary light-activated pen (Setalum TM ) for 30 seconds to polymerize. This is performed three times. Then, perform the same procedure with the vacuum on. Adhesive pull measurement was then performed using a mechanical testing machine (supplied by Instron). The l...
