Table 2.

Advantages and disadvantages of adhesive.

Adhesion mechanism Advantages Disadvantages
Catechol-Quinone Balance Durable adhesiveness: hemostasis (seal to stop bleeding, chitosan); antibacterial (EPL, chitosan); antioxidant Toxic oxidant; not easy to store
Hydrogen Bond Reversible adhesion and not affected by the surface chemistry Limited adhesion
Amide Bond Injectable; in situ glue; hemostasis Limited adhesion
Imine Bond Injectable; in situ glue; hemostasis Limited adhesion
Topology Wet tissue adhesion: act on any wet material when triggered by environmental stimuli Environmental irritation may be harmful
Static Electricity Wet adhesion; hemostasis (BIL) Positive charge may affect cells
