Abstract
An adhesive for soft tissue comprising at least one member selected from (meth)acrylic esters each containing an acid anhydride group represented by the specific formula (I) and derivatives of the (meth)acrylic esters represented by the specific formula (Ia), a (meth)acylate, a poly(meth)acrylate derived from a (meth)acrylate and a polymerization initiator; and a kit of an adhesive for soft tissue, comprising containers and, placed therein, the above ingredients. The adhesive for soft tissue and kit thereof according to the present invention are advantageous in that when the adhesive is applied to a wound on a soft tissue, at least one member selected from the above (meth)acrylic esters represented by the formula (I) and/or the derivatives thereof represented by the formula (Ia) together with a (meth)acrylate, contained in the adhesive, polymerizes irrespective of the presence of blood or body fluid, so that the adhesive undergoes strong bonding (conjugation) with the soft tissue and that further, the adhesive ensures low cytotoxicity to thereby ensure effective utilization in the treatment of a wound on a soft tissue, especially an integument, of an organism.
