Abstract

A biodegradable sealant includes: a polyethylene glycol derivative; a photoinitiator; and a solvent, wherein the content of the polyethylene glycol derivative is about 10-75 wt % in the biodegradable sealant. The polyethylene glycol derivative is obtained by a substitution reaction, and in the substitution reaction, the polyethylene glycol is modified with methacrylic anhydride.

Claims (31)

1. A biodegradable sealant, consisting of:

a polyethylene glycol derivative, wherein the polyethylene glycol derivative is obtained through a substitution reaction, and in the substitution reaction, polyethylene glycol is modified with methacrylic anhydride and the molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol used in the substitution reaction is 8000 or 35000;

a photoinitiator; and

a solvent,

wherein the content of the polyethylene glycol derivative in the biodegradable sealant is 60-75 wt %.

2. The biodegradable sealant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of the polyethylene glycol used in the substitution reaction to the methacrylic anhydride used in the substitution reaction is 1:0.01-10.

3. The biodegradable sealant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of the polyethylene glycol used in the substitution reaction to the methacrylic anhydride used in the substitution reaction is 1:1-10.

4. The biodegradable sealant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol used in the substitution reaction is 8000, and the weight ratio of the polyethylene glycol used in the substitution reaction to the methacrylic anhydride used in the substitution reaction is 1:0.05-1.5.

5. The biodegradable sealant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol used in the substitution reaction is 35000, and the weight ratio of the polyethylene glycol used in the substitution reaction to the methacrylic anhydride used in the substitution reaction is 1:0.05-0.8.

6. The biodegradable sealant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in the polyethylene glycol derivative, the degree of substitution of the methacrylic anhydride is 60-100%.

7. The biodegradable sealant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of the polyethylene glycol derivative to the photoinitiator is 1:0.001-0.01.

8. The biodegradable sealant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the photoinitiator comprises a UV photoinitiator.

9. The biodegradable sealant as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the UV photoinitiator comprises riboflavin, 2-hydroxy-4′-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone or phenylbis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide.

10. The biodegradable sealant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the solvent comprises water.

11. The biodegradable sealant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the osmotic pressure of the biodegradable sealant is 300-450 mOsm/kg.

12. The biodegradable sealant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the in vitro degradation time for the biodegradable sealant is 70-90 hours and the in vitro condition is in distilled water.

13. The biodegradable sealant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pH value of the biodegradable sealant is 6.0-7.5.

14. A method for bonding or repairing of biological tissue, comprising:

applying the biodegradable sealant as claimed in claim 1 to a biological tissue to be bonded or repaired.

15. The method for bonding or repairing of biological tissue as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising:

after applying the biodegradable sealant to the biological tissue to be bonded or repaired, performing an illumination procedure on the biological tissue to be bonded or repaired to make the agent for bond or repair of biological tissue solidify to bond or repair the biological tissue to be bonded or repaired.

16. The method for bonding or repairing of biological tissue as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the weight ratio of the polyethylene glycol used in the substitution reaction to the methacrylic anhydride used in the substitution reaction is 1:0.01-10.

17. The method for bonding or repairing of biological tissue as claimed in claim 14 , wherein in the polyethylene glycol derivative, the degree of substitution of the methacrylic anhydride is 60-100%.

18. The method for bonding or repairing of biological tissue as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the weight ratio of the polyethylene glycol derivative to the photoinitiator is 1:0.001-0.01.

19. The method for bonding or repairing of biological tissue as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the time it takes to perform the illumination procedure is 10-60 seconds.

20. The method for bonding or repairing of biological tissue as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the illumination procedure is performed by UV light, and the wavelength of the UV light is 200-450 nm.

21. The method for bonding or repairing of biological tissue as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the photoinitiator is a UV photoinitiator, and the UV photoinitiator comprises riboflavin, 2-hydroxy-4′-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone or phenylbis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide.

22. The method for bonding or repairing of biological tissue as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the biological tissue to be bonded or repaired is a wound in a subject.

23. The method for bonding or repairing of biological tissue as claimed in claim 22 , wherein the wound is a skin wound or an eye wound.

24. The method for bonding or repairing of biological tissue as claimed in claim 22 , wherein the wound is a skin wound, and wherein the molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol used in the substitution reaction is 35000.

25. The method for bonding or repairing of biological tissue as claimed in claim 22 , wherein the wound is an eye wound, and wherein the molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol used in the substitution reaction is 8000.
