Abstract

An apparatus is provided for apply-ing to a surface of mammalian tissue in-cluding soft, living tissue an initially flu-ent material and then activating the ma-terial by exposure to an energy source.
The material may be a liquid capable of polymerization to a non-fluent state by exposure to actinic light. The device, and methods that may be practised in associa-tion with the device, enable a wide range of medical conditions to be treated in-cluding, for example, the application of a barrier to soft tissue to prevent post-surgical adhesion.
