The latest chemical and biological weapons in Massachusetts increase the survival rate of soldiers a

As we all know, hemostasis is very important for soldiers after being shot. But on the battlefield, because of the limited medical level, many soldiers often die of excessive blood loss. Recently, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Texas A&M University jointly developed a hydrogel injection technology, which can effectively increase the chance of survival of wounded soldiers.

This study can effectively reduce the biodegradation time, so that the blood can quickly coagulate to achieve the hemostatic effect. In the experiment, the clotting time of blood was increased by 77%, but the project is still in the experimental stage.

The researchers hope to equip this hydrogel injection technology into the arms of soldiers. Assistant professor of Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University said: "our material has a strong ability to recover quickly, and is very stable in physiological stability and in promoting blood coagulation. And this research is very helpful for the treatment of AIDS. '
