England developed a new material will help the treatment of cleft palate
University of Oxford researchers recently reported that they had developed a new type of hydrogel material that can be used to help the treatment of neonatal congenital cleft palate, especially those patients with severe cleft palate.
University of Oxford released a press said a few days ago, the school researchers and colleagues developed a new type of hydrogel material, it can be placed on the cleft palate patients with mucous membrane around the suture department, this material will absorb the liquid slowly swelling, mucosal Organization will be followed for growth, when the expansion of the basic coverage of hydrogel after the cracks, you can surgically remove it, and then the corresponding mucosal tissue repair cracks.
According to reports, this hydrogel materials looks like contact lens materials, the materials used in almost its greatest feature is to absorb the liquid does not move in all directions after the expansion, but can control it cover the cracks in the direction toward the expansion, thus avoiding the mucosa in the other direction towards the growth of the problem.
