New mussel-inspired surgical protein glue: Close wounds, open medical possibilities

Prof. Hyung Joon Cha and his colleagues at POSTECH have developed new tissue adhesive that is mussel-protein based via a photochemical reaction using blue visible light. The innovative surgical protein glue not only closes an open wound on a wet bleeding site within less than 60 seconds but also effectively facilitates the healing process without inflammation or a scar.

One of the most basic yet important surgical skills to keep a patient alive and intact may be closing wounds. It seems that doctors will now get the job done with more ease thanks to new, nontoxic surgical glue that instantly seals a bleeding wound and helps it heal without a scar or inflammation.
