Adherable biomaterial patches and methods for producing and for using same
This invention relates to a method for producing an adherable biomaterial patch. The subject patch is capable of being joined onto a tissue substrate. The invention is also directed to the patch per se, and to a method for producing the adherable biomaterial patch which is joined onto a tissue substrate. A preferred patch can even function in a highly acidic environment. The method of the present invention comprises providing a biomaterial patch consisting essentially of elastin or an elastin-based biomaterial having at least one outer surface. Next, at least one outer surface of the biomaterial patch is treated with a selected cyanoacrylate adhesive to produce a adherable biomaterial patch.
