Researchers at the University of Akron have revealed the evolutionary strength of spider web glue. Published in the May 17, 2010, issue of Nature Communications, the research revealed that the effectiveness and strength of the spider web glue ensues from the highly entangled, cross-linked polymers in each droplet of the glue, which enables the adhesive [...]
Diverse technologies have a surprising number of common threads, whether in the technologies themselves or in the clinical applications. For this reason, manufacturers need to consider that: 1. A technology platform can be the launchpad for products in clinically diverse areas. Case in point, cell therapy, which as a fundamental scientific discipline can have uses [...]

Approximately 70 million surgical and procedure-based wounds are created each year in surgeries worldwide that offer potential for adjunctive products for surgical closure and securement. Some 23 million of these wounds are created during surgical procedures in the United States. Although it is possible that healing of all these wounds would be improved through use [...]
The worldwide market for products used in securement (sutures, staple, hemostasis, tapes, surgical sealants, high-strength glues) is characterized by both well established markets (sutures, staples and tapes) and novel products (surgical sealants, hemostasis and high-strength glues). The attractiveness of the surgical securement market is that there are some sizable segments that continue to demonstrate high [...]
There is potential for new sealant, hemostasis and closure treatments designed to facilitate surgical treatments of neurological disorders; most existing alternative treatments are pharmological therapies limited to reducing symptoms and few cures exist. An important driver in this market segment is the increasing aging population, with a consequent growing prevalence of age-related disorders. Also, new [...]
Sutures and staples are at an aging stage in their product life cycle; there are numerous predicate devices, and the materials are well established and cover most of the spectrum of clinical need for suturing. However, a great number of procedure-enhancing devices have been developed in the last seven years, particularly as minimally invasive surgery [...]
One of the more traditional segments in the securement products (sealants, glues, hemostats, sutures, staples, and anti-adhesion) market is hemostats. Hemostat products can be classified in six subsegments depending on their active principle: thrombin, gelatin, collagen, fibrin, synthetic materials, and other miscellaneous products that exhibit additional attributes. In the MedMarket Diligence report #S175 addressing these products, the [...]
The market for surgical closure and securement (sealants, glues, sutures, staples, tapes, hemostasis, anti-adhesion) has entered a phase in which major driving forces are the introduction of new procedures and techniques by the surgical profession, the development by the medical device industry of new wound closure devices and biomaterials, and the growing willingness of surgical [...]
The MedMarket Diligence Report #S175, "Worldwide Surgical Sealants, Glues, Wound Closure and Anti-Adhesion Market, 2009-2013," details the complete range of sealants & glues technologies used in traumatic, surgical and other wound closure, from tapes, sutures and staples to hemostats, fibrin sealants/glues and medical adhesives. The report details current clinical and technology developments in this huge and rapidly growing [...]
