If this stuff can actually patch (even temporarily) a human femoral artery...
it's fantastic stuff.

This sounds like something that should also be in first aid kits.

.. when applied to humans the bleeding stops but the urge to buy a treadmill and run heartily is tremendous!

No kidding. Usually if the femoral's cut, you're done for. Gotta love nano tech.

Sounds good but it's strange they didn't mention what pressure it can resist..


"experimenting with it as a matrix "

Uh oh!

Plaster: the original nano-matrix...

I read on these same forums, that crushed cayenne pepper applied liberally to a wound will also stop bleeding in about 10-15 seconds. It won't help with arterial bleeding, but for most cuts, it works about as well and fast as this new nano tech.

As a bonus, you can get it now and at any grocery store.

Still, I echo the comments above, this new stuff needs to get out to the troops as soon as possible.
