Source: Kay Stewart, RVT, RLATG, CMAR; Valerie A. Schroeder, RVT, RLATG. University of Notre Dame, IN In 1959 The 3 R's were introduced by W.M.S. Russell and R.L. Burch in their book The Principles of Humane Experimental Technique. The 3 R's are replacement, reduction, and refinement of the use of animals in research. The use of cell lines and tissue cultures that originated from research animals is a replacement technique, as it allows for many experiments to be conducted in vitro. Harvesting...

Cleaning, Sterilization, and Disinfection

Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization are the methods that help to break the infection chain and prevent disease. Cleaning The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...

Methods of Sterilization II: Chemical Methods

In healthcare, the chemical method of sterilization uses chemical sterilants to treat surgical instruments and medical supplies to help prevent the transmission of infectious pathogens to patients. Due to heat sensitivity, most medical supplies and equipment should not be exposed to high temperatures. These parts include rubber, plastic, glass, and other similar elements. Using chemical sterilization rather than heat to clean out equipment is recommended. It eradicates and removes all bacteria,...

Methods of Sterilization I: Physical Methods

As used in a healthcare facility, sterilization destroys all microorganisms through physical or chemical methods. The physical method includes steam, dry heat, boiling water, and radiation. Steam sterilization uses non-toxic, low-cost moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure, which is fast, microbicidal, and sporicidal, and quickly warms and penetrates fabrics. Autoclaves, or steam sterilizers, expose each item to direct steam contact for a predetermined time at the necessary...
FAQs
The bonding mechanism depends on formulation. Some sterile adhesives polymerize after placement, whereas others form a cohesive layer as they dry or when pressure-sensitive surfaces contact one another. These routes can produce different balances of bonding strength and flexibility. Matching the mechanism to the tissue, material, or device interface is therefore central to maintaining attachment during the intended use.
Performance depends on more than initial adhesion. Researchers assess whether the material remains bonded while exposed to bodily fluids, whether it remains sufficiently flexible as tissues or attached components move, and whether it degrades appropriately over time. Biocompatibility also matters because the adhesive must function in contact with the relevant biological environment without undermining the intended experimental or surgical application.
Sterile adhesive can join surfaces without conventional sutures or mechanical fasteners, potentially reducing tissue disruption during closure or attachment. Its suitability still depends on measurable properties such as bonding strength, flexibility, biocompatibility, degradation, and resistance to bodily fluids. These differences make adhesive systems relevant when researchers are comparing less mechanically invasive approaches for tissue or device fixation.
A useful evaluation examines bonding strength, flexibility, biocompatibility, degradation, and resistance to bodily fluids. Together, these measurements indicate whether the material can maintain attachment, accommodate the surrounding environment, and remain compatible with tissue or medical materials. Considering the full property set is important because strong initial bonding alone does not establish suitability for translational or surgical research.
In cancer research, sterile adhesives may support closure of biopsy sites and tumor-resection sites, secure experimental implants, or attach localized delivery materials. These applications place the material at different interfaces, including tissue, medical materials, and device components. Researchers can therefore study the same adhesive concept across surgical oncology, implant-related experiments, and localized therapeutic-material development.
Their value extends beyond immediate wound closure because adhesive performance can be examined as part of biomaterials development. Studies may connect bonding behavior with tissue compatibility, degradation, flexibility, and resistance to bodily fluids, then consider how those findings support experimental implants or localized delivery materials. This links material testing with surgical oncology questions and the broader goal of translational research.
