Innovative Patch Repairs Damaged Hearts

Heart tissue damaged by heart attached doesn't heal very well, the electrical signaling can be hindered and the pumping action weakened.

Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have developed an inventive patch that mimics the electrical conductivity of heart tissue able to function even as the heart is moving.

The Trinity team was able to collaborate with a company called Spraybase to alter polyester-based thermoplastic polymers using melt electrowriting techniques in order to create the patches that mimic the elastic nature of heart tissue.
