| abstract |
The purpose of the present invention is a new material for the suture of wounds. According to the invention, this material consists of a biocompatible, bio-adhesive mixture containing at least 50% by weight, of a methylidene malonate composition containing: 40 to 100% by weight, and preferably 50 to 100% by weight of one or several methylidene malonate of formula (I), in which: A and B independently represent a group (a) or (b): in which R1, R2 and n are as defined in the description; and/or one or several methylidene malonate oligomers with a molecular weight that does not exceed 6,000 and consisting of recurrent units of formula (II), in which A and B are as defined above; 0 to 60% by weight, and preferably 0 to 50% by weight of one or several methylidene malonate polymers with a molecular weight exceeding 6,000 and consisting of recurrent units of formula (II). |
