Chinese scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking medical adhesive named Bone-02, capable of repairing bone fractures in as little as three minutes
The project, led by Dr. Lin Xianfeng at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital in Zhejiang Province, was inspired by oysters’ remarkable ability to cling firmly to wet, moving surfaces.
Unlike traditional metal implants, Bone-02 is bioabsorbable, gradually dissolving as the bone naturally heals, eliminating the need for a second surgery to remove hardware. Tested successfully in over 150 patients, the adhesive has demonstrated impressive strength, safety, and rapid bonding even in blood-rich environments. Experts believe Bone-02 could dramatically reduce surgery time, lower infection risks, and accelerate recovery, marking a major breakthrough in fracture treatment worldwide.
Within two to three minutes of application, Bone-02 can secure broken bones with exceptional bonding force—measured at more than 400 pounds
Bone-02’s bioabsorbable design means it naturally dissolves within about six months, disappearing as the bone regains strength
