Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are now allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will continue to be removed and our normal comment rules still apply to other comments.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Would love it if someone could summarize? Maybe explain?

When the adhesive is removed, the blood goes back to normal and they live? A normal life? Could a person?

This is a bit different, but there is a thing called amnion which can be used as a liquid or thin membrane, covering wounds and allowing your body to regenerate itself rather than produce scar tissue.

Sounds like the adhesive is a porous gel designed to let the liquid part of blood through while keeping the clotting agents and other solids in place. So, it ought to allow normal clotting behaviour in situations where blood loss would otherwise be too fast to allow clots to form. If the adhesive is removed after the clot has formed ... there's still a clot there.
