Adhesive hydrogels have broad applications in tissue adhesives, hemostatic agents, and biomedical sensors. Various bio‐inspired glues and synthetic adhesives are clinically used as conventional hemostatic agents and auxiliary tools for wound closure. Medical adhesives are needed to effectively and quickly control bleeding, thereby reducing the risk of complications caused by severe blood loss. Medical sensors need to have excellent skin compliance, mechanical properties, sensitivity, and biological safety. This review focuses on recent progress in adhesive hydrogel systems, their structures, adhesion mechanisms, construction strategies, and emerging applications in the biomedical field.
