ISoldering technique uses nanoparticles in solder material to improve tissue sealing.

Sometime more than 5,000 years ago, man came up with the idea of suturing a wound with a needle and thread.

Not every wound can be closed with needle and thread. Empa researchers have now developed a soldering process with nanoparticles that gently fuses tis....

Suturing a wound with a needle and thread was invented by man more than 5,000 years ago. This surgical premise has not altered much since then: incisions or tears in the tissue can be put together more or less properly depending on the fingertip sensation of the person doing the surgery and the instruments.

A new surgical patch can seal wounds in the abdomen and send warning of potential leaks.

Researchers at ETH Zurich and Empa have developed a patch with a sensor function. It can be used to seal wounds in the abdomen after surgery. The polymer patch warns before the occurrence of dangerous leaks on sutures in the gastrointestinal tract.

To ensure that wounds remain tightly sealed in the abdomen after surgery, researchers at Empa and ETH Zurich have developed a patch with a sensor function.

It works exactly the same way that soldering electronics does | Science & technology
