Many thanks to the crew over at www.Wilderness-Survival.net for the tip on this pretty interesting type of “bandage”.
http://www.njbiomaterials.org/web/index.php?p=cembr&s=2288 is the link to a company that is making a spray-on-bandage. This has obvious applications in remote medical settings.
After the large amount of use the rapid hemostatic agents (QuikClot) are seeing in Afghanistan and Iraq, could this be the next line?
