Bone-knitting polymer is a material used for medical purposes by the United Nations Space Command. It is injected into a wound through a cauterized incision, where it can heal a fractured bone.[1]

Bone-knitting polymer likely 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.[citation needed]

Bone-knitting polymer was administered to Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson after he was knocked unconscious by Shipmistress Chur'R-Yar aboard Minor Transgression.[1]
