For a long time, people have been interested in adapting bioadhesive materials to replace sutures and staples for sealing tissues during minimally invasive surgical procedures. There are many ...

Engineers have designed a super-strong, detachable adhesive that may someday replace surgical sutures. Last year, MIT engineers developed a double-sided adhesive that could quickly and firmly stick to ...

What if you could make adhesives both strong and easily removable? This seemingly paradoxical combination of properties could dramatically change applications in robotic grasping, wearables for health ...

Ripping a Band-Aid off provides a stinging lesson in medical adhesives: they are designed to stick strongly to healthy human skin. But for people with fragile or sensitive skin—such as infants, older ...
