Classification: CPC A  C | IPC A  C

Claim 0:
1. A medical composition comprising:
(a) a first hydrophilic polymer functionalized with a plurality of first functional groups that comprise succinimidyl groups; and
(b) a second hydrophilic polymer functionalized with a plurality of second functional groups that comprise primary amine groups,
wherein the first and second functional groups are selected to react and form covalent bonds upon a change in conditions such that the first and second hydrophilic polymers crosslink with one another, wherein the composition is a first composition that comprises a mixture of the first and second hydrophilic polymers, wherein the second polymer is a polysaccharide, wherein said change in conditions is a change in pH, and wherein the first and second hydrophilic polymers crosslink with one another at a rate such that the mixture becomes a non-free-flowing gel in less than 5 minutes at body temperature.
