Scientists have created an elastic super surgical glue that can seal cuts, wounds and incisions instantly. The technology, called MeTro, was created by Nasim Annabi, an assistant professor of chemical engineering at Northwestern University who collaborated with scientists at the University of Sydney and Harvard Medical School.
MeTro — profiled by Science Translational Medicine — is an elastic gel that doctors can apply to an open cut to seal it, like a clear band-aid. The gel is made from a human protein that reacts to ultraviolet light. It’s applied to a wound through a syringe and when the light activates it, the wound is sealed in 60 seconds. The liquid gel solidifies once it comes into contact with tissue surfaces.)
