A Pressure-Sensitive, Repositionable Bioadhesive for Instant, Atraumatic Surgical Application on Internal Organs.
ADVANCED MATERIALS(2024)
摘要
Pressure-sensitive adhesives are widely utilized due to their instant and reversible adhesion to various dry substrates. Though offering intuitive and robust attachment of medical devices on skin, currently available clinical pressure-sensitive adhesives do not attach to internal organs, mainly due to the presence of interfacial water on the tissue surface that acts as a barrier to adhesion. In this work, a pressure-sensitive, repositionable bioadhesive (PSB) that adheres to internal organs by synergistically combining the characteristic viscoelastic properties of pressure-sensitive adhesives and the interfacial behavior of hydrogel bioadhesives, is introduced. Composed of a viscoelastic copolymer, the PSB absorbs interfacial water to enable instant adhesion on wet internal organs, such as the heart and lungs, and removal after use without causing any tissue damage. The PSB's capabilities in diverse on-demand surgical and analytical scenarios including tissue stabilization of soft organs and the integration of bioelectronic devices in rat and porcine models, are demonstrated. While ubiquitous in everyday life, pressure-sensitive adhesives (e.g., scotch tape) are limited to dry surfaces. By integrating hydrogels and pressure-sensitive adhesives, a pressure-sensitive bioadhesive that adheres to internal organs is fabricated. The unique adhesive properties of pressure-sensitive adhesives enable the atraumatic interfacing between surgical equipment and internal tissues for tissue stabilization and fault-tolerant integration of bioelectronics. image
