Photochemical tissue bonding

Summary

Photochemical tissue bonding methods include the application of a photosensitizer to a tissue, e.g., cornea, followed by irradiation with electromagnetic energy to produce a tissue seal. The methods are useful for wound repair, or other tissue repair.

Title: Photochemical tissue bonding
Usefulness: Photochemical tissue bonding
Summary: The method is for creating tissue seal to repair a, e.g. corneal tissue. It is useful for surgical applications e.g., transplant surgery, cataract surgery, laser surgery, keratoplasty, laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK), refractive surgery, cornea reshaping, or treatment of corneal laceration. (All claimed) The tissue, which can be repaired, also includes skin, tendon, cartilage, or bone.
Novelty: Creation of tissue seal to repair, e.g. corneal tissue, involves forming a mixture by contacting tissue needing of repair with photosensitizer agent(s), and applying electromagnetic energy to the mixture
