Patent ID: 8034396

Claim:
A method for adhering tissue comprising: contacting a first component possessing at least two alkyne groups with a second component selected from the group consisting of N—((2S,3R,4S,5S,6S)-4,5-diazido-6-(azidomethyl)-2-(benzyloxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)acetamide, 4,4′-diazido-2,2′-stilbenedisulfonic acid disodium salt hydrate, (3R,4R,5S,6S)-4-azido-6-(azidomethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2,3,5-triol, 4,4′-oxybis(azidobenzene), 4,4′-sulfonylbis(azidobenzene), bis[2-(4-azidosalicylamido)ethyl]disulfide, 1,17-diazido-3,6,9,12,15-pentaoxaheptadecane, (2E,6E)-2,6-bis(4-azidobenzylidene)cyclohexanone, tetraazido-pentaerythritol ethoxylate, heptakis-6-azido-6-deoxy-beta-cyclodextrin, and combinations thereof; catalyzing a polymerization of the first component and the second component to form a bioadhesive composition; and adhering the bioadhesive composition to at least one tissue surface.
