This hydrogel fiber has high biocompatibility. Compared with traditional cotton thread or polymer thread, using this hydrogel fiber as surgical suture can promote wound healing, reduce adverse reactions caused by surgical suture and protect damaged skin tissue. In addition, this hydrogel fiber also has the characteristics of high water content and low irritation, which has a very significant advantage compared with traditional surgical sutures such as cotton thread. Hydrogel fiber also has bionic spiral structure, which makes hydrogel fiber have elasticity similar to human skin, so it can have better effect when used as surgical suture, and will not bring sequelae and adverse reactions.
Although this hydrogel fiber has many advantages, it is expected to become a new generation of high-end surgical suture, because it can not only promote wound healing, but also reduce a series of adverse reactions caused by surgical suture, improve the success rate of surgery and shorten the postoperative recovery period. However, because this hydrogel fiber is still under development, it has not been really used for postoperative suture. Moreover, the research and development cost of this hydrogel fiber is high, and if this hydrogel fiber is used as surgical suture, the operation cost will increase. Therefore, more in-depth research on hydrogel fibers is needed.
With the deepening of scientists' research, more and more medical research results have been obtained, and people should actively accept new things. Only in this way can the country's science and technology develop more and more and bring more and more convenience to people. In the future, hydrogel fibers may be widely used in surgical suture, which will bring great convenience to people. Whether it is hydrogel fiber or other medical research results, scientists need to study deeply, try and change constantly to judge the value of a research result. We should also encourage and support these emerging research results.
