Bioadhesives
Bioadhesives are substances derived from natural or synthetic materials that can stick to biological tissues. They are used in medicine to bond tissues together, such as closing wounds or surgical incisions, reducing the need for staples or stitches. These adhesives are designed to be biocompatible, meaning they don’t cause harm or irritation, and often mimic the body’s own adhesion mechanisms. Bioadhesives offer advantages like reducing healing time, minimizing scarring, and enabling precise tissue repair, playing a vital role in healthcare and tissue engineering.
