According to a recent EurekAlert! article, scientists at Incheon National University in Korea have developed a new adhesive patch for wound healing that generates oxygen, addressing the limitations of traditional wound closure methods like sutures and staples. The patch is made of gelatin-based oxygen-generating tissue adhesives (GOTs) that release oxygen to promote healing. The innovation offers better control of adhesion, mechanical properties, and drug delivery, improving coagulation, blood closure, and tissue regeneration.
