We describe the simplest protocol to prepare biodegradable medical glue that has an effective hemostatic ability. TAPE is a water-immiscible supramolecular aggregate prepared by mixing of tannic acid, a ubiquitous compound found in plants, and poly(ethylene) glycol, yielding a 2.5 times greater water-resistant adhesion compared with commercial fibrin glue.

This protocol aims to alleviate the limitation of poor cell engraftment for stem cell treatment of myocardial infarctions through the use of a hydrogel system and a fibrin-based glue. With this approach, cell-to-tissue contact post-infarction can be maintained, increasing the therapeutic potential of beneficial agents at the site of injury.

Q Suture Technique: A Suturing Technique to Reduce Gap Formation and Increase Tensile Strength in Tendon Repair

2025
In this video, we demonstrate suturing techniques — core suture and Q suture — to repair the foot flexor tendon in an ex vivo porcine model. Q sutures enhance the strength of the core suture in tendon repair and decrease gapping at the tendon repair site.

Sutures of the Skull

2025
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures. Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Iris Fixation via External Pentagram Suturing
0 Views •
2022
The present protocol describes how a 10-0 polypropylene suture crosses the anterior surface of the iris, forming a pentagram to prevent both iris and pupil from moving toward the cornea. This can be combined with subsequent keratoplasty to cure bullous keratopathy with extensive anterior synechia of the iris.
FAQs
Moisture on the tissue surface initiates rapid polymerization of the cyanoacrylate formulation. The liquid adhesive therefore changes into a film after contacting the wound environment, allowing it to stabilize approximated skin edges without requiring additional punctures. This moisture-dependent reaction explains both the rapid setting behavior and the importance of applying the product to an appropriate tissue surface.
A flexible film can maintain contact between approximated skin edges while accommodating limited movement at the closure site. This property is relevant because postoperative wounds may experience changing surface forces as an animal moves or is handled. In contrast, a closure that cannot accommodate such conditions may be less suitable, so film flexibility contributes to selecting appropriate cases.
The adhesive offers a way to close selected wounds while avoiding the additional punctures associated with conventional sutures. It can therefore serve as an alternative or complement, rather than replacing sutures in every situation. The choice depends on wound characteristics, including location, tension, contamination, and tissue depth, which determine whether adhesive closure is appropriate.
Four considerations are especially important: wound location, mechanical tension, contamination, and tissue depth. These factors help determine whether the adhesive can support the intended closure or should be combined with, or replaced by, conventional sutures. Evaluating them before closure supports more controlled postoperative care and reduces the risk of selecting the technique for an unsuitable wound.
After an external incision from a neurological procedure or animal-model experiment, researchers or veterinary teams can consider adhesive closure as part of the postoperative workflow. The approach may reduce additional punctures and handling during closure, but suitability must still be judged from the wound’s location, tension, contamination, and depth rather than from the neurological procedure alone.
In veterinary neuroscience, the technique can support closure of external incisions associated with neurological procedures and animal-model experiments. Its potential to minimize extra punctures and handling may simplify controlled postoperative care and reduce disruption during the closure stage. The adhesive addresses the external wound, while selection remains dependent on the specific physical characteristics of that incision.
