Not, now ! Thanks for pointing it out.

Now this stuff looks really cool and something which should be in everyones first aid kit!
So many opportunities for serious wounds in the home, let alone out in the wilds...

could this even replace plasters ?

I'm a sucker for ted talks; have the app and usually fit a presentation in every few days at work. Some good choices and a few have a bushy relevance

Mandos - have you watched the Talk ? It works faster than Celox and in a different way. It works with the body cells to repair that unique area.

ive watched the video and all i can see it does is aid healing a little faster and work that bit quicker i can see that this works in a way that celox doesnt but imo its not going to be cheaper or easier than celox to put in your first aid kit and he has only improved on an idea not invented...

I see a vast difference between the two products. If cheaper and easier to put in your FAK are your criteria, then good luck.

OK. You've managed to bury your axe in your leg, nicking an artery, now busily spurting blood. You coat the cut in your leg on the surface with this magic gloop. The bleeding ceases through the cut in the leg, but is it still pumping out of the artery, just subcutaneously? Does the gloop manage to find its way back to the artery to fix the damage through the intervening muscle and fat layers under the skin? Or do you have to pull the flesh back from the artery to treat directly onto the arterial wall?

A nice clean cut, a congealment like your body would hopefully make. When the surgically put a stent in your heart, a BIG nurse has to apply pressure for ten minutes, and the coming days you have to be very careful.

As for a chainsaw cut, still a tourniquet and probably gangreen!

Edit.

If it doesn't clot inside, it's unlikely that it would clot outside, cause of the pressure.
