Abstract
Disclosed herein are compositions comprising gelatin, collagen, and a chromophore that produces a reactive oxygen species upon exposure to electromagnetic radiation. These compositions have also been found to be strong tissue adhesives that crosslinks the composition and tissue and are effective in closing and sealing wounds, fixation of grafts/implants and anastomoses.
