This ingenious invention can seal a gunshot wound in under 20 seconds

Recommended Posts

 

The ingenious XStat device from RevMedX, which is designed to stop bleeding from a gunshot or shrapnel wound in under 20 seconds, has just been approved by the FDA. The injector quickly fills a deep wound with a handful of pill-shaped sponges that instantly expand on contact with blood, giving the patient more of that critical time to get to a hospital.

God that must be uncomfortable. TBH I'd rather stick with wrapping material around the wound and hold it... Handy invention though.
