Afraid of sewing wounds, you can try to glue it
News24xx.com - Glue is usually used to glue between two objects. But what if used for the world of health, medical, and medicine.
It turns out that uniting damaged organs or tissues is often done in the medical world, the use of glue. Usually doctors do it by sewing.
Glue to glue the wound to the skin already exists, but this glue can only glue the wound on the outside. One of them is after a cesarean section postpartum.
A team of researchers from the United States and Australia found a glue that was able to replace sewing threads to glue damaged organs or tissue.
This glue, called MeTro, is even able to reduce the formation of scar tissue.
This glue is made from natural protein material which has sticky and elastic properties. The natural protein is elastin which in the human body is abundant in organs that have elastic properties such as the lungs and blood vessels.
The elastin contained can be used to cover the incision wounds as in the case of removal of lung tumors.
Because of its very elastic and strong properties, elastin can be used to unite organ damage that previously had to use sewing thread. In addition, elastin will also be absorbed by the body when the wound has healed.
While still in the process of research, MeTro successfully integrated the arterial incision wounds in mice. MeTro also managed to close the wound on the lungs of the pig, without an air leak when the lung expanded and deflated.
This experiment shows that MeTro, in addition to being used in animals with small bodies, can also be used in animals that have a larger body. The next step is to conduct a clinical trial on the human body.
In humans, MeTro can be used to unify the post-surgical incision wound. MeTro is also expected to be able to be used to cover serious internal organs such as in the case of traffic accidents.
