Advanced elastomers are highly in demand for the fabrication of medical devices for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Herein, a shape memory and self-healing polyurethane (PCLUSe) composed of semi-crystalline poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) segments and interchangeable and antioxidative diselenide bonds was designed and synthesized. The excellent shape memory of PCLUSe contributed to the smooth MIS operation, leading to less surgical wounds than in the case of sternotomy. The diselenide bonds of PCLUSe contributed to the rapid self-healing under 405 nm irradiation within 60 s, and the alleviation of tissue oxidation post injury. After being delivered through a 10 mm diameter trocar onto a beating canine heart by MIS, two shape-recovered PCLUSe films self-assembled (self-healing) into a larger single patch (20 × 10 × 0.2 mm3) under the trigger of laser irradiation in situ, which could efficiently overcome the limited-size problem within MIS and meet a larger treatment area. The diselenide bonds in the PCLUSe cardiac patches protected the myocardium under oxidative stress post myocardial infarction (MI), and significantly maintained the cardiac functions.
