Dissolvable medical sealing device
TLDR
A dissolvable medical sealing device (3, 4, 6, 7, 9) for closing a wound in vessel is described in this paper. But it is not shown how to construct such a sealing device.Abstract:
The present invention provides a dissolvable medical sealing device (3, 4; 6, 7; 9) for closing a wound in vessel. A sealing device (3, 4; 6, 7; 9) according to the invention is made of a material that dissolves by means of physical processes, rather than by means of chemical or biological processes. Such a sealing device (3, 4; 6, 7; 9) can be made of polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, copolymers containing ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinyl pyrolidone, or any combinations thereof.read more
