US EditionChinese Researchers Unveil 3-Minute Bone Adhesive, Raising Hopes and Questions
The device can bond fractured bones within minutes using biodegradable materials that release antibiotics and promote faster healing, with over 150 patients treated successfully, researchers said.
- Chinese researchers have developed a portable in situ bone printer that quickly creates bone adhesives, eliminating long waits for implant fabrication.
- Bone 02 glue achieves adhesion in two to three minutes, even in challenging conditions such as blood-soaked environments.
- A clinical trial with over 150 patients demonstrated benefits of localized delivery, including stronger bone regrowth and denser tissue after twelve weeks.
- This approach may reduce side effects and combat antibiotic resistance compared to systemic administration, as explained by Lee.

Viral publications on social networks say that a bone glue to remove a fracture in a few minutes has been developed in China. A prestigious Chinese university has revealed this promising discovery at the beginning of September. However, this announcement is still to be taken with caution. - VERIF' - Have Chinese scientists developed a "glue" capable of repairing fractures? (Sciences).
Chinese researchers claim to have developed a revolutionary "super glue" for bones. This bone glue can repair fractures that normally take months to heal in minutes.
Instead of simply sticking screws and metal plates – what sounds like a hardware store, a research team from China presents. A "bone glue" called "Bone 02" .
The cure of a bone fracture can last months. Fixing small bone fragments is not only slow and laborious, but it can also be difficult to achieve a perfect fit. A Chinese research team has presented the solution, an innovative product called 'Bone-02' that works like a bone glue.This adhesive is able to treat fractures with a single injection and join bone fragments in just three minutes, according to the Global Times media.The bone glue, still i…
Chinese researchers develop revolutionary biodegradable bone glue inspired by oysters
A team of orthopaedic surgeons in China's Zhejiang province has developed a revolutionary new bone adhesive, dubbed “Bone 02”, inspired by the natural occurring glue oysters use to stick themselves to underwater rocks.
