Putting my engineer hat on, what if this technology could be put to use in combat hospitals? Use the surgeons to do the intricate work, then have the machines do the final closing of the skin, allowing the surgeons to move more quickly to the next critical patient?
They could then send bots to do the fighting too. Ought to make hamburger out of human armies, right?
Not very applicable or practical since most battlefield surgical wounds are not closed at the first operation due to contamination, mitigation of the effects of swelling of underlying tissues, and need for re-operation in the near term. Also, of those few wounds that are closed, skin closure is typically accomplished with skin staples, a task that takes literally seconds and can be accomplished by the surgical tech.
