A method for processing a biomedical material using a supercritical fluid includes introducing the supercritical fluid into a cavity. The supercritical fluid is doped with a hydrogen isotope-labeled compound, an organic metal compound, an element selecting from a halogen element, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, phosphorus or arsenic, or a compound containing the element. The biomedical material in the cavity is modified by the supercritical fluid at a temperature above a critical temperature of the supercritical fluid and a pressure above a critical pressure of the supercritical fluid.

Novel compositions and systems for closure of wounds are disclosed. The compositions provide devices of improved flexibility and elasticity and are readily applied to wound sites or over wound closure devices. The present invention is also directed to a novel platinum catalyst for use in such compositions. The catalyst provides for rapid curing on topical surfaces such as skin and bonds to such surfaces in about 2-5 minutes.

An aerosol spray device includes a container having first and second fluid reservoirs disposed therein that are divided from one another. The first fluid reservoir holds a first mixture including a first aerosol propellant and a first part of a silicone based topical skin adhesive that is dissolved in the first aerosol propellant. The second fluid reservoir holds a second mixture including a second aerosol propellant and a second part of the silicone based topical skin adhesive that is dissolved in the second aerosol propellant. An aerosol spray dispensing system is connected with the container, which is configured to combine the first and second mixtures to form the silicone based topical skin adhesive and dispense the silicone based topical skin adhesive from the container as an aerosol spray.

An electrical power generator includes an M-gel layer that includes MXene and a hydrogel, first and second flexible layers that sandwich the M-gel layer so that the M-gel layer is sealed from an ambient, and a single terminal electrically connected to the M-gel layer. The M-gel layer is configured to transform acoustic energy into electrical energy.
