Funded Activity Summary

Development of a Light-Activated Bioadhesive for Low Temperature Tissue Repair. While sutures currently represent the gold standard for wound closure, their fundamental technology has changed little in thousands of years. Surgical sealants and energy based closure devices are expected to increasingly replace or complement sutures, improving tissue closure and wound healing. The innovative research in this proposal will develop the next generation of surgical bioadhesive technology and claim a stake in the estimated US$ 4 billion market. The project outcomes will enhance Australia's reputation in the biomedical field and will have world-wide social and health care benefits by ultimately allowing better functional healing through bioadhesives that can be effectively applied rapidly and consistently.
