MIT researchers create breathable hydrogel for less irritation and longer wear 

<p>Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a breathable hydrogel that lengthens wear time and reduces irritation. Hydrogels are materials made of water and polymer that are used in medical patches and glues to dress wounds, attach implants and deliver medicines. Most hydrogels lack breathability, which causes them to trap moisture and sweat.
