Abstract
A process for enhancing the security of implantable surgical devices secured to bone tissue comprising implanting in bone tissue a surgical device with a biocompatible adhesive and/or sealant selected from the group consisting of: p1 (a) a material made from monomers of the formula:
CHR.sup.1 ═CX.sup.1 Y.sup.1
wherein X1 and Y1 are each strong electron withdrawing groups, and R1 is hydrogen or, provided that X1 and Y1 are both cyano groups, a C1 -C4 alkyl group;
(b) a semi-crystalline aliphatic poly(ester) of the formula:
[--0--R.sup.11 --C(0)--].sub.y,
wherein R11 is selected from the group consisting of --CR12 H--, --(CH2)3 --0--, --CH2 --CH2 --O--CH2 --, CR12 H--CH2, --(CH2)4 --, --(CH2)z --O--C(O)-- and --(CH2)z --C(O)--CH2 --; R12 is hydrogen or methyl; z is an integer in the range of from 1 to 7 and y is an integer in the range of from about 10 to about 20,000; and
(c) a slurry of water and a calcium containing compounds with the general formula:
M.sup.2+.sub.10-n N.sup.1+.sub.2n (WO.sub.4.sup.3-).sub.6 mU.sup.2-
where n is an integer from 1 to 10, and m is 2 when x is 1, or m is 1 when x is 2, M and N are alkali or alkaline earth metals; WO4 is an acid radical and w is phosphorus, vanadium, sulfur, silicon, or is substituted in whole or part with carbonate (CO32-); and U is a halide, hydroxide, or carbonate; provided in an amount effective to increase the amount of force necessary to remove the implanted surgical device. Additionally provided is a surgical device that is at least partially coated with at least one biocompatible adhesive and/or sealant.
