Ethical approval
All animal procedures were conducted in accordance with the People’s Republic of China Animal Protection Law and relevant regulations. The experimental protocol was approved by the Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital Animal Ethics Committee, approval number 20230527175018933362. The experiments shown in subfigures E–G of Figure 2, involving fingers, were designed to visually and intuitively demonstrate the hydrogel's adhesion to the skin surface. This does not involve formal human subject experiments and is a commonly used illustrative method in hydrogel studies; therefore, ethical approval is not required.
