2014-164 - Thermo-Responsive Hydrogel and Application Device to Seal Ocular Injuries

Battlefield wounds Emergency medical situations and surgeries Abstract USC scientists and engineers have developed a reversible temperature-sensitive hydrogel that can seal eye injuries on the spot. The modified gel is liquid at room temperature and transitions to a solid with strong adhesive properties when heated. This seal can be removed simply...

2023-077 - Thermally Robust, Rapid-Reversible Hydrogel Materials

Background Thermoresponsive hydrogels are attractive for injectable wound closure and other in situ forming applications because they can be applied as free-flowing liquids at low temperature and then gel near physiological temperatures. Their practical use, however, is limited by slow or incomplete gel-to-sol recovery after exposure to elevated storage...
