DARPA will develop a “putty” for bone healing

Recently, Arch Therapeutics comrades have developed a nanosubstanstantion that can stop the bleeding in just a couple of seconds. And now the military from DARPA announced the beginning of work on "active material resembling a putty" for the treatment of bone fractures. Not nano, of course, but also interesting.

For the purposes of development, DARPA launched the Fracture Putty program, in which researchers will create material that (according to plans) when applied to or around a fracture is able to restore the bone bearing properties in just a few days.

Scientists will have to work hard. In particular, it is necessary to create self-absorbing adhesive substances capable of combining with bone, biomaterials suitable for creating a bone-like structure, and materials that can adapt to biochemical stimulants.

At first glance, the task before DARPA and Fracture Putty is very voluminous. Therefore, no preliminary dates for the release of at least a “prototype” of bone healing material were voiced by anyone. But the mere fact that work on creating such a level of technology is already underway speaks volumes.
