Description
Shangrui Rao and six colleagues published a review in two thousand twenty-six on functional bio-patches used inside the abdomen. Such patches repair tissue and can carry added jobs like fighting infection or releasing drugs. New materials have turned simple patches into multi-use platforms.
The review covers natural, synthetic, and mixed polymers used to build the patches. It then walks through uses in rebuilding the abdominal wall, repairing the gut, restoring the urinary tract, and regrowing blood vessels. The authors close with the hurdles ahead: tuning strength, matching breakdown speed to healing, and adding smart responses. They aim the review at both materials scientists and surgeons.
