Created gel that can stop the bleeding wounds


What we used to read and watched in scientific-fantasy books, games and movies starting to realize. Probably most who have played the game Mass Effect will remember a "product" which could be used for treatment during the battle, called MediGel. He was an anesthetic and zasiruvach blood and prevent further flow of blood through a body cavity.

The interesting thing is that this product can be created in real life, you just have made scientists. As the Joe Lendolina said in his TED presentation, new product call VETI-GEL has the key functionality of MediGel-enabled, and it is stopping the bleeding. We believe that could easily be added and some of the anesthetic so it has absolutely the same function.

VETI-GEL method is based on the imitation of vonkletochnata matrix normally has this function, and is constructed from a combination of proteins, sugars and complex fibers. It is pretty ineffective in treating larger wounds, and in fact the remains of wounds that often remain on the body due to which it failed "perfect" to merge and healed place.



The product which has created Lendolina built from polymers that come from plants, and when applied to the wound he distributed like vonkletochnata matrix on the local tissue - so preventing further bleeding. The product looks and embodied a similar functionality as the tissues of the body that is set - if it is placed on the skin acts as skin if placed on another body functions as himself. The video that put Joe Lendolina seen as gel closes bleeding simulation vessel with double stronger pressure of a human artery, which is really impressive.

This product can be used in the same way as it is used and MediGel-enabled in the game - local treatment for injuries from bullets and the like. The soldiers of the future if they are injured can samoizlechat or have a special suit that will run this local gel into place, so saving many lives at least until you get medical professional for treatment.
