On their website one of the first applications they listed was for sutures in eye surgery. Apparently the high initial tensile strength and biodegradability make it perfect for that. I agree though that most of the interesting (and widespread) uses require a material that is not biodegradable. I would love to have a spider-silk ballistic/stab vest... That would be a very cool piece of kit...
