Scientists from New Zealand claim to have produced a ground-breaking gel for healing wounds following sinus surgery without causing any negative side-effects.
According to its developers, the gel could potentially lead to a reduction in the number of post-operative complications which frequently occur following endoscopic sinus surgery.

Developed by the University of Otago in partnership with the University of Adelaide and a New Zealand-based company Robinson Squidgel, the gel has undergone successful sheep and human trials over the past four years.
