## Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated that the addition of a protein solder to augment the laser tissue weld significantly improves postoperative results. Herein we describe a method for the preparation of human albumin for use as a laser tissue solder. We also review the brief history of

Background/Objective: Current albumin solders for tissuewelding are soluble in physiological fluids, prior to laser irradiation. These solders are therefore subjected to mechanical alterations, which can weaken the solder-tissue repair. In this study, an albumin solder (laser activated) was develope
Background and Objective: Fifty percent human albumin solder significantly improves weld strength when compared to lower concentrations [Wright et al., ASLMS meeting, April, 19951. We developed a method for preparing 50% human albumin that may be considered compatible for clinical applications. Stud
