Shouldn't they be working on dermal regenerators by now?
That'll be $600.

Once again, mother nature to the rescue. Isn’t blind, random natural selection a great thing? /s

Wow, go MIT. Anything to keep wounds clean, heal faster and no seepage. This will save lives.

Not wounds, but internal stuff from surgeries. At least, I think thats the main thrust.

So I am a fairly safe mayonnaise kind of guy and I have had 200-300 stitches, mostly in my head.
Last time was a fall in the garage into a metal lathe and I got 40 stitches in my mouth to accompany 8 displaced teeth.
They also stitch you up when you have compound fractures(yes, motorbikes will do that to you)
Also when they break your nose they usually do some damage to your lips....more stitches.

Why not just use transglutaminase? Ain’t no need for fancy double sided tape.

So, what happens when time comes to rip the tape off?

To: the OlLine Rebel
The definition of a wound whether internal or external is the same but I can see how my wording might cause confusion. Internal from surgery is a wound or seepage both( or other) of which is generally necessary to reopen and repair. This certainly is a huge breakthrough.

Yet more medical research Senator Warner wants canceled by reducing medical spending to a minimum for everyone but senators (and maybe House members if enough is left over).

Yes, I could see that. Could be useful for all but hey, we already have little sticky tapes for stitches external.

Ive used duct tape on wounds bunch of times
One Time me and wife were kayaking on the islands off Culebra in Puerto Rico and I sat on a knife first night and I duck taped my whole butt cheek and it lasted for all week and I never got infected
Put the tape on dry butt of course !
