ABSTRACT:
A method for joining or reconstructing biological tissue comprises providing a solid filler material in the form of a preformed sheet, where the sheet comprises collagen, gelatin or a mixture thereof. The filler material is placed over tissue. Radiofrequency energy or optical energy is thereafter applied to the filler material in an amount sufficient to melt or denature the filler material.
