collagen-based adhesives

Collagen-based adhesives are medical glues derived from collagen, a natural protein found in skin, bones, and connective tissue. They are used to help tissues bond together during wound healing or surgery. These adhesives work by mimicking the body's natural materials, promoting tissue regeneration, and providing a strong, biocompatible way to seal injuries. Because they come from natural sources, they reduce the risk of immune reactions and are often biodegradable, meaning they break down safely over time as healing progresses. Collagen adhesives offer an effective, gentle, and sustainable option for tissue repair.
