| 20090253094 | APPARATUS FOR DETECTING INFECTED TISSUE - An apparatus and method for detecting infected tissue are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a light source for producing a light beam and an optical element having an input end optically coupled to the light source and an output end arranged to direct the light beam as a confocal beam into tissue. The apparatus also comprise a detector optically coupled to the optical element to receive a return beam back from the tissue stimulated by the confocal beam and to generate an output dependent upon the return beam. An analyser is arranged to analyse the output of the detector to determine whether the return beam is indicative of infected tissue. The use of a confocal beam allows it to be directed to a specific predetermined point or depth in tissue, such as a tooth, thus eliminating the ‘swamping effect’ of the bulk background tissue. Thus an embodiment of the apparatus is more sensitive at detecting infected tissue. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20090018575 | TISSUE-ADHESIVE FORMULATIONS - A tissue-adhesive formulation comprises a particulate material having tissue-reactive functional groups, in admixture with a particulate buffer material. The formulation is preferably free or substantially free of materials of human or animal origin. In preferred embodiments, the formulation consists, or consists essentially of, an anhydrous or partially hydrated blend of particulate material having tissue-reactive functional groups and particulate buffer material. Also disclosed is a multilayer sheet comprising a structural support coated on at least one side thereof with such a tissue-adhesive formulation. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090044895 | TISSUE-ADHESIVE MATERIALS - A multi-lamellar tissue-adhesive sheet comprises a structural layer or laminate conjoined to a tissue-contacting layer. The structural layer or laminate comprises one or more synthetic polymers having film-forming properties, and the tissue-contacting layer of material contains tissue-reactive groups. The synthetic polymers having film-forming properties are preferably biodegradable polyesters, and the tissue-reactive groups are most preferably NHS-ester groups. | 02-19-2009 |
