Formation of asymmetric, rigid scar tissue known as surgical adhesions is caused by
traumatic disruption of mesothelial-lined surfaces in surgery. A widely adopted prophylactic …

Tissue adhesives do not normally perform well on tissues that are covered with blood or
other bodily fluids. Here we report the design, adhesion mechanism and performance of a …

Wound sealants provide an excellent alternative for closing surgical and non-surgical
wounds, as well as stopping external bleeding for prehospital trauma injuries. Numerous …

Postoperative adhesions occur widely in various tissues, bringing the risk of secondary
surgery and increased medical burden. Hydrogel barriers with Janus-adhesive ability can …

Hemostatic biomaterials show great promise in wound control for the treatment of
uncontrolled bleeding associated with damaged tissues, traumatic wounds, and surgical …

Non-compressible hemorrhage is an unmet clinical challenge that accounts for high
mortality in trauma. Rapid pressurized blood flows under hemorrhage impair the function …

Tough hydrogel adhesives that consist of a robust gel network and can strongly adhere to
wet tissues have shown great promise as the next generation of bioadhesives. While a …
