Worcester Polytechnic Institute researchers are pioneering bioadhesives that adapt to tissue properties, enhancing the ...

The adhesive that the researchers used in this study is made from cross-linked polymers called hydrogels, and is similar to a surgical tape they previously developed to help seal internal wounds.

A Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researcher is developing a new class of medical adhesives by bringing together ...

This discount is shown at checkout, if applicable. An adhesive hydrogel whose stickiness can be turned off by shining infrared light on it could make for better bandages or allow robots to climb ...

The hydrogel and biological tissue adhesion in the 2021 study was demonstrated to be a viable method for replacing sutures and adhesives, while being fully reversible in case of a mistake or after ...

Two infants with irritant contact dermatitis reaction from medical adhesives; one caused by transparent adhesive dressing, the other from hydrogel EKG electrodes.

The hydrogel has a unique structure, making it the first to combine strength and flexibility with self-healing capabilities. We all encounter gels in daily life – from the soft, sticky ...

Hydrogel adhesives are available as electrocardiogram (EKG) electrodes and temperature probe covers. They should not be used in situation where adherence is critical; however, even their use to ...
