Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical adhesives, and particularly relates to a two-component injectable polyurethane bioadhesive, its preparation method and application. Background Art

[0002] As a substitute for traditional surgical sutures, medical tissue adhesives have attracted more and more extensive attention and research because they have characteristics such as real-time hemostasis, effective sealing, non-invasive adhesion, and simple operation, which can improve the surgical effect and success rate. Bioactive tissue adhesives have adjustable biomechanical and biochemical properties, can establish a firm bonding interface with tissues, and achieve the purposes of assisting surgical suturing, hemostasis, and preventing leakage, which is attractive for soft tissue wound management and wound healing.

[0003] Current medical adhesives mainly include fibrin-based, cyanoacrylate-based, polyethylene glycol-based, and polyurethane-based. Among them, polyurethane adhesives have advantages such as good biocompatibility, high bonding strength, low swelling rate, and good stability, and have great potential in the field of medical adhesives. In the Chinese patent application with the publication number CN116899007A, the use of secondary amine compounds as curing agents is proposed to solve the problem of slow curing process of polyurethane adhesives, but there is heat release during the curing process, and the synthesis of the curing agent requires processes such as column chromatography or extraction for purification, and the synthesis process is complex. In the Chinese patent application with the publication number CN116023623A, a degradable polyurethane adhesive is prepared by introducing an ester bond into the molecular structure of the polyurethane adhesive, but the preparation process is complex, and the use of the catalyst is prone to potential toxicity risks. In the Chinese patent application with the publication number CN116712595A, the curing time of the adhesive is adjusted by selectively adding tertiary amine compounds in the prepolymer, but small molecule polyhydroxy compounds are used as chain extenders, and the degradation rate of the prepared adhesive is relatively fast.

[0004] In addition, during actual clinical use, in the face of moist environments such as easy tissue fluid exudation and blood exudation, it is often difficult for adhesives to achieve firm adhesion to wet soft tissues. The Chinese patent application with the publication number CN118079061A provides a two-component polyurethane-based bioadhesive for soft tissues, which can be quickly cured, degradable, and has good hydrophilicity, excellent bonding performance and plugging effect. It is applicable to various tissue environments and can meet various actual clinical needs. However, the shear lap strength of this adhesive still needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0120] Example 9. Imaging Performance of the Two-Component Injectable Polyurethane Bioadhesive of the Present Invention

[0121] This example provides a polyurethane bioadhesive with imaging performance. The difference between this example and Example 8 is that the curing agent is dissolved in an iodixanol aqueous solution (i.e., the medical iodixanol injection) instead of water, and the remaining steps are the same. The concentration of iodixanol in the iodixanol aqueous solution is 300 - 370 mgI / mL.

[0122] The shear lap strength of the bioadhesive obtained after adding iodixanol decreases, but still meets the use requirements, and the imaging function is increased. The adhesive of the present invention has good imaging performance under CT and no artifacts. Figure 1 as shown.

[0123] Comparative Example 1. Preparation of Other Polyurethane Bioadhesives

[0124] This comparative example provides a polyurethane bioadhesive. The difference between this comparative example and Example 6 is that polylysine is not added to the curing agent, and the remaining steps are the same.

[0125] Measure the maximum load and shear lap strength according to the method described in Example 1.

[0126] The curing time of the adhesive prepared in this comparative example is greater than 5 minutes. Its maximum load on fresh pigskin is 4.71 N, and the shear lap strength is 47.11 kPa.

[0127] Comparative Example 2. Preparation of Other Polyurethane Bioadhesives

[0128] This comparative example provides a polyurethane bioadhesive. The difference between this comparative example and Example 6 is that the curing agent is F220 polyaspartate resin, and the remaining steps are the same.

[0129] The maximum load and shear lap strength were measured according to the method described in Example 1.

[0130] The curing time of the adhesive prepared in this comparative example was about 10 min. Its maximum load on fresh pigskin was 2.47 N, and the shear lap strength was 24.70 kPa.

[0131] The beneficial effects of the present invention are demonstrated by the following specific test examples.

[0132] Test Example 1. Rheological properties and biological safety test of the polyurethane bio - adhesive of the present invention

[0133] The polyurethane bio - adhesive prepared in Example 8 was subjected to rheological property and biological safety tests as follows:

[0134] (1) Rheological test: The gelation process of the adhesive was detected by a modular intelligent rheometer (MCR302). The prepolymer and the aqueous curing agent solution were mixed in the rheometer at 37 °C. The time - sweep analysis of the mixture was carried out at a strain of 1% and a frequency of 1 Hz. Figure 2 For the test results of rheological properties. From Figure 2 it can be seen that at the beginning, the storage modulus (G′) was lower than the loss modulus (G"). As time went on, the storage modulus and the loss modulus gradually increased. At about 160 s (2.8 min), the storage modulus was higher than the loss modulus, indicating that the adhesive formed a cross - linked network. As time was further extended, G′ and G" continued to increase, indicating that the cross - linked network was gradually improving with the extension of time and the interaction force was stronger.

[0135] (2) Biological safety test: According to the ISO10993 - 12 standard, the sample cured in Example 8 was immersed in the culture medium for 24 h to prepare an extract of 1 mg / mL, and was diluted 10 times and 100 times respectively, filtered through a 220 nm membrane, and the toxicity of the extract to L929 cells was determined by the CCK - 8 method and the live - dead staining method. The results showed that ( Figure 3 ) the viability of L929 cells remained above 80% after 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, and the fluorescence results showed that there were more live cells, indicating that the adhesive of the present invention had good biological safety.

[0136] In summary, the present invention provides a two-component injectable polyurethane bioadhesive, which is composed of component A polyurethane prepolymer and component B curing agent composition. When in use, component A and component B are fully mixed according to a specific volume ratio. The two components in the polyurethane bioadhesive of the present invention can be mixed by injection, and can be quickly cured after mixing. This adhesive can be degraded in vivo and has good biocompatibility. Moreover, this adhesive has good wet adhesion and can meet various clinical needs. After a developer is compounded in this adhesive, it has good developability and can be used for radiotherapy positioning. Therefore, the polyurethane bioadhesive of the present invention has good application prospects.
