Kit comprising adhesive hydrogel and impregnating fluid

Abstract

The present invention relates to a kit of parts comprising two components, the first component being a patch comprising a nondegradable hydrogel and the second component being an impregnating fluid, which, upon in-situ polymerisation, anchors the patch on a tissue. The patch may comprise additional layers comprising sensing components or therapeutic components. In addition, the invention notably relates to the use of said kit of parts in surgery, in particular as suture or staple supports, e.g. suture or staple supports in the abdominal region such as intestinal anastomosis sites, or for sealing of artificial stoma.
