Mussel‐ and Barnacle Cement Proteins‐Inspired Dual‐Bionic Bioadhesive with Repeatable Wet‐Tissue Adhesion, Multimodal Self‐Healing, and Antibacterial Capability for Nonpressing Hemostasis and Promoted Wound Healing

Abstract Massive bleeding and wound infection are the major problems often observed during severe trauma, and achieving rapid hemostasis in cases of high‐dose bleeding in arteries and viscera remains an acute clinical demand. Herein, a mussel‐ and barnacle cement proteins‐inspired dual‐bionic hydrogel is first proposed. Benefiting from abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups, a tough dissipative matrix, removal of interfacial water, as well as dynamic redox balance of phenol‐quinone, the multinetwork hydrogel achieves repeatable robust wet‐tissue adhesiveness (151.40 ± 1.50 kPa), a fast multimodal self‐healing ability, and excellent antibacterial property against both Gram‐positive/negative bacteria. For rabbit/pig…
