Hey, thanks for posting! This is a remarkable device. Will probably soon show up in ambulances everywhere.

Its so painful, you take the guys gun away first, says former U.S. Army Special Operations medic John Steinbaugh. That's a colorful way to describe the pain. Reminds me of a scene from Braveheart...
That'll wake ye up in the mornin,' boy!

This is 100 percent why the public thinks Republicans and Conservatives are nasty. Explains the shot card.

Thanking all vets for putting their lives on the line for the country, I’d rather see robot technology being developed for battlefield.
To: CIB-173RDABN
Yep, you are correct. I believe World War I was the first war (for Americans, anyway) where disease wasn’t the #1 killer of soldiers. Advances in medicine, nutrition and food preservation (bad tinned meats sickened a lot of guys in the Spanish-American War), and so on.

But then the flu epidemic right after the war killed more than WWI itself.

Sounds like a damn wonderful idea. I hope to God it works and saves some lives.
However RevMedx is new and small. if this invention is as good as advertised, I figure one or more CongressCritters
will find a way to move all the profits to one of their major donors with the politico collecting huge “finder's fees. The veterans, scientists, and engineers that invented and sweated out the FDA approval will be out in the cold. That seems to be how things work in America today.
It is not what you know or even who you know, but whose palm is greased.

The US Civil War is a good example. There were about 600,000 fatalities on both sides. Only about 175,000 were caused by battle injuries, like being shot. All the others were caused by disease. It was far worse in earlier wars.

Ping to a much-needed invention.

No doubt that the Obama Regime will find a “very good reason” to NOT go forward with deployment of this life saving idea. In fact, they will likely reduce funding for the purchase of gauze.
After all, almost anything is to just too good for our troops.

Something to include in any first aid kit. Plus maxipads which are sterile for large abrasions. Clumping kitty litter is also a good item.

But then the flu epidemic right after the war killed more than WWI itself. The leading theories on the flu's origins still have it war or military related.

What is the clumping kitty litter for?

Deep wounds. It’s a backup. Stops the bleeding in larger areas. It’ll all be flushed out when you get to hospital and cleansed. The pads are good for large surface areas and the tampons good for deep penetrating wounds but it’s has to be replaced as they fill. The clumping litter solidifies. I have it packed in ziplock bags.

“Its so painful, you take the guys gun away first,
There was one way this pain was avoided in some places..
Apply what we called a ranger tourniquet...it went around the neck a certain way kinda like a brief sleeper hold with the same effect..
Set bones, plug holes, put shoulders back in with no pain.
Of course that what I heard somewhere..

The product is XStat - finally a way to stop arterial bleeding better than the specialized pressure bandage and hard gauze.
It will be $100 when it first comes out but that price will drop as more is produced. Get as many as you can afford. One per family member at least.
