Injectable biomaterial with enhanced mechanical and coagulative capabilities for treating aneurysms

TERASAKI INSTITUTE FOR BIOMEDICAL INNOVATION IMAGE: TERASAKI INSTITUTE FOR BIOMEDICAL INNOVATION SCIENTISTS HAVE PRODUCED AN IMPROVED SHEAR-THINNING BIOMATERIAL FOR TREATMENT OF ANEURYSMS. IT EXHIBITS IMPROVEMENTS IN STRENGTH, STRESS RESISTANCE, AND INJECTABILITY, AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE BLOOD COAGULATION AT THE ANEURYSM SITE. ADDITIONALLY, IT DECREASES THE POTENTIAL FOR IMMUNOTOXIC SIDE EFFECTS. CREDIT: TERASAKI...

Treating aneurysms with injectable toothpaste-like biomaterials

by Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation  Aneurysms are weaknesses in the venous walls that can result in the ballooning and bursting of blood vessels. TIBI scientists have developed an enhanced hydrogel treatment to stop blood flow to the aneurysm until the vessel wall heals.
