Reversible electroadhesion of hydrogels to animal tissues for suture-less repair of cuts or tears
The authors demonstrate strong adhesion of cationic hydrogels to bovine tissues under a DC electric field. Such electroadhesion can be reversed by switching the polarity of the field. This approach could enable simpler surgeries, where sutures are not needed.
