Hmmmm what ever happend to the freeze dried fibrin bandages and spray in the bullet hole foam ? Is this an off shoot of that product ?
This will surely replace my 2 IV's, a vaso constrictor (nasal spray) ,superglue, two combat tampons and duct tape "personal shot in the ass kit"...... :o)
Stay Safe !

"I wonder if this could this help hemopheliacs too?" Bleeding from a cut or wound is the least of a hemophiliac's worries. The far larger danger is internal bleeding, as from a bruise, e.g.
That said, there would still be a limited application.

The Army scientists who tested the HemCon bandage praised its simplicity and minimal storage requirements after it saved all but one of eight gravely wounded animals.
Dr. Tony Pusateri, who tested the bandage, described it as "very promising," adding that more testing is needed. Ingrid Newkirk of PETA, is demanding that the federal government arrest HemCon company executives for unnecessary pain and suffering.
Dr. Tony Pusateri, with BBQ grill and spatula in hand, added that more testing is needed, as well as more BBQ sauce.

This has nothing to do with iodine. They have modified a glycopeptide that is one of a very large number of components found in shrimp shells for this purpose, but the other components of the shrimp shells are not used.

Good point, actually. PETA and other organizations like to say that there is no longer a need for animal testing of medical products and procedures. How would you test a device like this otherwise, though?
