Beijing — Chinese scientists have introduced a revolutionary medical glue gun designed to heal broken bones within just three minutes. The device uses a special bio-adhesive that bonds bone fragments securely, even in blood-rich surgical conditions.
Researchers say the glue is bioabsorbable, meaning it dissolves naturally as the bone heals, eliminating the need for additional surgeries to remove hardware. Inspired by nature, particularly how oysters stick to wet surfaces, this breakthrough could transform orthopaedic surgeries worldwide.
While initial tests have shown promising results, experts highlight that wider clinical trials and regulatory approvals are still required before the glue gun becomes a standard medical tool.
