US EditionChinese Researchers Unveil 3-Minute Bone Adhesive, Raising Hopes and Questions
The modified glue gun prints biodegradable bone grafts in minutes, achieving over 400 pounds bonding force and reducing infection risks, according to clinical trials with 150+ patients.
- 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.

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…
