Sea Slug Bandages
It was designed by David Mooney, Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and institution: Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. It is dated 2017-ongoing. Its medium is sealed bandage models, photograph. It is a part of the department.
Inspired by the Dusky Arion slug’s incredible defense mechanism—the secretion of a sticky mucus some 2 to 5 times stronger than Super Glue—researchers from the Mooney Lab for Cell and Tissue Engineering have developed a bandage that emulates some of a slug’s natural advantages. Flexible, biocompatible, and super adhesive, these bandages may be able to assist with human tissue repair both inside and outside the body.
