China Develops Fast-Acting Bone Glue for Fracture Repair

China Develops Fast-Acting Bone Glue for Fracture Repair

Scientists in China have created a new type of glue called Bone-02 to fix broken bones.

It works in just 2-3 minutes, and is inspired by how oysters stick to surfaces.

The glue is absorbed by the body as the bone heals, eliminating the need for removal surgeries.

Over 150 patients have already been treated with Bone-02, and tests show it is very strong.

This could make fixing broken bones much quicker and easier.
