Abstract

We have developed a new sutureless technique to repair small blood vessels. This technique utilises a fully biodegradeable, protein solder that is laser activated to produce tissue welding. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique, the abdominal aorta of the rat (1.5 mm in diameter) was used as a model allowing surgery time, and recovery over a six week period to be compared with that of conventional microsuture repair.
