Bone-knitting polymer: Difference between revisions

'''Bone-Knitting Polymer''' is a material used for medical purposes by the [[UNSC]]. It is injected into a wound through a cauterized incision, where it can heal a fractured bone.<ref name="Harvest164">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 164''</ref>

It is likely that it works in essentially the same way as the bones heal naturally, perhaps creating a small "cast" like human cartilage to set the bone whilst stimulating the osteocytes to reproduce at a higher rate than is normal.

Bone-knitting polymer was used on [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]] after he was knocked unconscious by [[Shipmistress]] [[Chur'R-Yar]] aboard the ''[[Minor Transgression]]''.<ref name="Harvest164"/>

==Trivia==

*The amount of time it takes for the polymer to take affect is unknown, but Johnson was unconscious for quite a while after the destruction of the [[Kig-Yar]] ship.
