Abstract
An arrangement for applying a tissue adhesive based on human or animal proteins, to seamlessly or seam-supportingly connect human or animal tissue or organ parts by uniting with blood-clot-promoting coagulation factors (thrombin). The arrangement includes a plurality of syringe bodies commonly actuatable by pistons and to which a connecting head is attachable. The syringe bodies have equal effective strokes, yet one of them, i.e., that destined to contain the protein solution, has a cross sectional area that is two to nine times larger than the other one(s). There may be applied tissue adhesives having a fibrinogen content of from 2 to 12%.
