Claim 7
Independent Claim
96 words
A method for adhering a prosthetic device to living tissue which comprises applying a rapidly polymerizing adhesive composition to said tissue, bringing said prosthetic device into contact therewith and maintaining the tissue and the device in contact with each other until polymerization of the adhesive has occurred, said adhesive composition comprising at least one compound represented by the structural formula: wherein A is a divalent straight or branched chain alkylene or oxyalkylene radical having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and R is a straight or branched alkyl radical having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
75 words
