    Recently, researchers from the Mayo Clinic and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States have developed a biocompatible glue.
    This paste-like viscous paste can seal injured tissues or organs and prevent blood from clotting.
    Stop bleeding within 15 seconds
    .

    The inspiration for the invention of this glue came from barnacles
    .


    Barnacles are marine animals attached to rocks, boat bottoms, and large fish


    The research team decided to try to imitate the glue of barnacles by improving an adhesive they had previously developed
    .


    This viscous material is composed of polyacrylic acid, NHS ester and chitosan


    Studies have shown that the sealing strip of glue can withstand high arterial pressure, stay intact for several weeks, and allow enough time for the tissue to heal itself
    .


    Moreover, the inflammation caused by this glue is very light, similar to the inflammation caused by the currently used hemostatic agents
