Australian scientists have developed a film from the shells of crabs, sealed the cut. Has novelty. A number of advantages over conventional seams, in particular in neurosurgical operations reports ScienceDaily Biopolymer called SURGILUX, developed by the University of New South Wales, forms a layer thickness of 50 microns. Under the influence of the infrared laser film is firmly connected to the tissue of the patient, a secure sealing area operations. Unlike conventional sutures movie not a source of infection and absolute tightness is to avoid complications such as leakage of cerebrospinal fluid in neurosurgical operations. Also contributes to the use of film to damage to the nerve, to prevent inevitable with traditional seams, the head of research, John Foster (John Foster). The new material has the advantage, and before surgical glue, because it is not toxic and has some antimicrobial properties, the two researchers. Foster and his colleagues are currently improving biopolymer. Be included in the composition of its growth factors and perhaps stem cells, which will accelerate the regeneration of damaged nerves, they say.
