The purpose of this topic is to develop next-generation bioadhesive platforms that can safely and reliably seal, bond, and repair a wide range of tissues in challenging clinical conditions, including wet, bloody, and mechanically dynamic environments. These platforms may also be designed to deliver biologics or small molecules as part of treatment. The goal is to create bioadhesives with key performance attributes such as strong tissue adhesion, controlled degradation, reversibility, biocompatibility, and broad compatibility across multiple tissues and organs. If successful, this topic could enable widely deployable solutions for hemostasis, leak prevention, tissue repair, and device fixation, ultimately helping reduce complications and improve patient outcomes across many care settings.
