Medical adhesives are advanced but challenging alternatives to wound closure and repair,
especially in mitigating uncontrolled hemorrhage. Ideal hemostatic adhesives need to meet …

The current treatments for the management of corneal and scleral perforations include
sutures and adhesives. While sutures are invasive, induce astigmatism and carry a risk of …

Clear corneal incisions are routinely used in cataract surgery, but watertight wound closure
may not always be achieved, which can increase the risk for anterior chamber fluid egress or …

Peripheral nerve repair for complete section injuries employ reconstructive techniques that
invariably require sutures in their application. Sutures are unable to seal the nerve, thus …

Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of a hydrogel sealant versus a suture in preventing
fluid egress after wound leakage in cataract surgery. Setting Twenty-four ophthalmic clinical …

Pathophysiologic inflammation, eg, from HSV-1 viral infection, can cause tissue destruction
resulting in ulceration, perforation, and ultimately blindness. We developed an injectable …
