Surgical Adhesives That Bond at Body Temperature
Bio-reactive HMAs melt at 50°C (near body temperature) and bond tissue within seconds. Key features:

  • Star-polycaprolactone (PCL-NHS) base: Biodegrades in weeks without toxic residues.

  • 4x stronger than surgical sutures: Withstands internal fluid exposure and dynamic movement.
    Used for minimally invasive wound closure and organ repair.

 Skin-Friendly HMAs for Wearable Medical Devices
Pressure-sensitive HMAs (PSAs) enable comfortable long-term wear for:

  • Glucose monitors: Adhere through sweat and movement, with hypoallergenic properties.

  • ECG electrodes: Maintain conductivity without skin irritation.
    These pass cytotoxicity tests (ISO 10993-5) and offer breathable adhesion.

 Drug-Delivery Patches with Smart Adhesion
HMAs with controlled porosity act as drug reservoirs in transdermal patches:

  • Thermo-responsive release: Drugs diffuse when skin temperature rises.

  • Biodegradable backing: Reduces medical waste.
