ChiNa scientists have made a revolutionary discovery – the world’s first ‘bone glue’ (bone adhesive substance), which adds broken bones in 2-3 minutes. This material is inspired by oyster.
It is completely biodegradable, ie in 6 months, it dissolves in the body. This will not require metal implant.
What is bone glue?
According to the news of China Science, Chinese scientists have developed a biometerial called ‘Bone 02’, which is used to stick bones. This material is inspired by oyster, which stick firmly into the sea. Dr. Lin Jianfeng saw that if she does not move even in oyster waves and streams, can the bones be pasted in a blood -filled environment
With this idea, this bone became glue. This glue has the strength to stick more than 200 kg. By applying it during surgery, the broken bones are added in 2-3 minutes. In the old method, metal implants have to be installed, which require second surgery to remove. But bone glue dissolves itself when the bone is cured in 6 months, without second surgery.
How does bone glue work?
It is a sticky substance before applying bone glue to surgery. It is firmly stuck in a blood -filled environment. Scientists conducted more than 50 formula tests and did hundreds of experiments. This material is biosephs (safe for the body). Helps the bone recover.
Dr. Lynn’s team developed it in Wanzou, China. So far, more than 150 patients have been tested, and all have been found safe and effective. It will bring revolution in bone breakdown, fracture and orthopedic surgery. Traditional implant will be protected. Surgery time will be less.
Bone breaking problem in the world
Every year, crores of people around the world struggle with the problem of bone breaking. Traditional methods are expensive and painful. Applying metal implants is at risk of infection or other surgery. Bone glue is a solution to this problem. It is completely biodegradable, that is, it dissolves in the body. China has applied for Chinese and International Patent (PCT) for this.
