Scientists developed a sealant that could potentially stop bleeding.
Currently available sealants are not suitable for most surgical applications and they do not work alone without the need for suturing or stapling, because they lack an optimal combination of elasticity..
New type of surgical sealant can be affixed even to delicate tissues.
The team tested the material in the lungs and arteries of rats and found it effectively sealed them.
The technique could be useful in emergency rooms, as well as on the battlefield.
The study was published in the Science Translational Medicine journal.
