Xstat Sponge Syringe for gunshot and shrapnel wounds

submitted by Mordhaus

It was such a success on the battlefield, the FDA recently approved it for domestic use by paramedics and first-responders. They also are working on a vaginal applicator for the major reason for maternal death, following pregnancies, postpartum hemorrhage.

The Quick Clot stuff, used when it isn't supposed to be, irritates the living daylights out of surgeons because they end up having to debride (Cut away) lots of tissue they wouldn't have to otherwise.

But this seems like a brilliant response to military grade gunshot and shrapnel wounds, where the entrance hole is small, then the body cavity is large (from the expansion of the bullet)---

Useful and will save lives and doing it while saving tissue.

Neat invention, though $200 each?

For an American Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-certified/tested medical device, this is actually a good price.
lol.
