(a) The live cells outside the 1 μL dot of PEC indicate that the material does not create a toxic environment (Scale bar: 500 μm). This suggests that the material inhibits viability when cells are directly attached to it.

(b) The current version of film is strong and flexible; therefore, easy to handle. It can be used for both laparoscopic and laparotomy surgeries. It is biodegradable and biocompatible. Processing is completely aqueous based and does not require any toxic solvent.
