Sentences with phrase «tissue adhesive»

Some veterinary clinics use tissue adhesive to close the skin because it's faster and a lot cheaper.

«Development of growth factor - free tissue adhesive porous films singularly capable of promoting angiogenesis.»

It is the first nanoparticle - based tissue adhesive that features these characteristics.

Nanoparticles made with a shell of silica (SiO2) and a core of radiopaque tantalum oxide (TaOx) are used to make a tissue adhesive and visible to ultrasound, X-ray, and fluorescent imaging.

The research team tested the TaOx / SiO2 core / shell nanoparticle (TSN) glue and found that it is clearly visualized by real - time imaging modalities and exhibits adhesive properties similar to that of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)- approved cyanoacrylate and Lipiodol (CA - Lp), a mixture of a tissue adhesive and radiopaque oil used in the clinical practice.

And it was less toxic in the body than a commonly used commercialized tissue adhesive, researchers report July 28 in Science.
