?The antibacterial material, with peptides bound to hydrogel particles, works even in contact with body fluids such as blood. It can be sprayed directly into wounds without impairing healing or applied as a coating to catheters and implants to prevent infection, and to fight even multi-resistant bacteria. ?Photo: Anna Lena Lundqvist/Chalmers

Compared to gauze dressing, a “gel sheet” made from a gelatin-like material can quickly soak up more blood without dripping, as shown in the video. The sheets may one day help clean up blood during surgeries or stop bleeding from wounds. CREDIT Matter/Choudhary et al.
Could this hydrogel invention drive the ubiquitous paper towel to extinction?
