Medical devices incorporating functional adhesives
First Claim
1. A kit comprisinga surgical access device having a surface with a plurality of releasable reactive members capable of binding to complementary reactive members of a specific binding pair,a tissue repair member which has a plurality of the complementary reactive members of the specific binding pair attached to a surface of the tissue repair member, anda container which houses the surgical access device and tissue repair member, wherein upon release from the surgical access device, the releasable reactive members are capable of binding with the complementary reactive members of the tissue repair member via a reaction selected from the group consisting of Huisgen cycloaddition reaction, a Diels-Alder reaction and a thiol-ene reaction.

Abstract
Methods for treating a wound at a surgical target site are provided which includes utilizing a surgical access device having a plurality of reactive members of a specific binding pair releasably contained on a surface of the access device, the reactive members having affinity for binding a cellular component of tissue cells located at the target site; contacting the surface of the access device with the tissue cells, wherein upon contact of the reactive members on the surface of the access device with the tissue cells, the reactive members are released from the surface of the access device and bind to the tissue. A surgical access device for use in the minimally invasive surgery is also provided.
