Compositions are disclosed that afford drug delivery from two-part polymer compositions that rapidly form covalent linkages when mixed together. Such compositions are particularly well suited for use in a variety of tissue related applications when rapid adhesion to the tissue and gel formation is desired along with drug delivery. For example, the compositions are useful as tissue sealants, in promoting hemostasis, in effecting tissue adhesion, in providing tissue augmentation, and in prevention of surgical adhesions.
Anastomotic connector devices are provided which release a therapeutic agent. The therapeutic agent may be an anti-scarring agent that inhibits stenosis caused by the presence of the anastomotic connector device.
