Abstract:
1. A method for forming a coating on an anatomical site on tissue of a living organism comprising the steps: A) (1) forming on said site an aqueous mixture comprising: B) (1) forming an aqueous mixture comprising: (2) applying said mixture to the site before the mixture completely cures, and allowing said aqueous mixture to cure completely, thereby forming said coating; provided that: (i) if the aqueous mixture comprises albumin, but not gelatin, then the concentration of albumin in the aqueous mixture is about 20% to about 36% by weight; (ii) if the aqueous mixture comprises gelatin, but not albumin, then the concentration of gelatin in the aqueous mixture is about 12% to about 32% by weight; (iii) if the aqueous mixture comprises a mixture of albumin and gelatin, then the total concentration of albumin and gelatin combined is about 12% to about 36% by weight; (iv) the concentration of the water-soluble carbodiimide in the aqueous mixture is about 1% to about 10% by weight; (v) if the aqueous mixture comprises the polyether amine, but not the polycarboxylate, then the concentration of the polyether amine in the aqueous mixture is about 0.4% to about 20% by weight; (vi) if the aqueous mixture comprises both the polyether amine and the polycarboxylate, then the concentration of the polyether amine in the aqueous mixture is about 0.4% to about 20% by weight and the concentration of the polycarboxylate is about 0.4% to about 5% by weight.
