Tendon-Inspired Sutures Protect Fragile Tissues
APRIL 12TH, 2021 CONN HASTINGS Researchers at McGill University in Canada have developed bioinspired sutures that mimic the structure of human tendons. The gel-covered sutures are slippery and tough, reducing the damage caused by conventional sutures when used on soft tissues. Interestingly, the gel surface of the sutures may allow for advanced applications such as drug delivery,...
