Uncontrolled hemorrhaging accounts for more than 30% of trauma deaths. To stop the bleeding, doctors often apply pressure to the wound and seal the site with medical glue. But what happens when applying pressure is difficult or could make things worse? Or the surface of the wound is too bloody for glue? Drawing inspiration from nature, researchers from Ï㽶ÊÓƵ have developed a medical adhesive that could save lives, modeled after structures found in marine animals like mussels and flatworms.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/flatworm-web.jpg?itok=M7PfpKoh" width="160" height="119" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">13 </span><span class="month">October </span><span class="year">2022</span></div></div></div></div></div> Thu, 13 Oct 2022 13:15:08 +0000 webfull 183622 at /channels
