FDA Approves Futuristic Gel That Can Stop Life-Threatening Bleeding in Seconds
Briefly

This is for stab wounds, gunshot wounds, motor vehicle accidents - really anywhere where this product will stand between a patient and death. Current methods that use tourniquets, gauze wraps, or chemicals can take a relatively long time to stem the bleeding, unlike Traumagel which can effectively patch a life-threatening injury in seconds.
91 percent of battlefield mortality relates to what we call preventable hemorrhage, meaning that if there were only a better product to stop bleeding, countless lives could be saved.
Traumagel, an algae-derived product, comes in a syringe, is ready for use, and is easy to apply. The gel is a temporary patch, but the short span a person has Traumagel covering up a wound could give them enough time to get to an emergency room.
