In Russia, developed for the "soldier of the future" protection against hemorrhage when injured

Scientists from St. Petersburg and Rostov-on-Don, at the request of the RF Ministry of Defense, have created a special tourniquet for the “future soldier” that protects him from injury from internal hemorrhage. There are no analogues of such protection in the world.

According to the head of the department of the Research Institute of Physics of the Southern Federal University (Research Institute of Physics of the Southern Federal University) Andrei Rybants, the acoustic cuff to stop internal bleeding will pass the first tests in May.

“During the war, large losses of personnel occur precisely as a result of internal bleeding, which is not visible,” Rybianets explained. “The use of an ultrasound unit will stop the internal hemorrhage for six hours, which will give time to evacuate the wounded person and perform an operation without amputation a life". The standard methods of assistance for such a wound - the usual tourniquet - are of little effect, a person bleeds and dies in a short time.

According to the general opinion, the acoustic cuff will be widely used both by rescuers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and in emergency medical care. The design is similar to a blood pressure measurement device. A tourniquet is applied to the place of damage, it is inflated with a help of an electric motor and clamps a limb. At this time, the built-in ultrasonic sensor system locates the rupture of the vessel and cauterizes the damage.

"A similar technique of force ultrasound is used to treat cancer. In the case of a soldier's cuff, the system will have to independently search for damage in the blood flow in order to make a hole," Rybyanets commented.

There will be several options for the device - for the soldier’s first-aid kit (weight of the cuff is 3 kg) and a more heavy version for the orderly and inpatient hospital.

The main customer in the project is the St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University. St. Petersburg scientists together with the Kirov Military Medical Academy, the Russian Ministry of Defense makes a harness. And Rostovites - an ultrasound cuff system, exactly what will burn the site of damage to the artery. The total cost of the project is 280 million rubles, of which the Rostov part of the development of the coagulation system is 70 million.

      In field medicine, the USSR was considered the best in the world. Thanks to great doctors like Pirogov. After the collapse of the Union and numerous reforms, it is necessary to restore everything. One pleases Serdyukov, and others like him, in the army there are no more.

        There are also developments on the medical foam, which is introduced around the affected organ and blocks bleeding.

    The news is really good. And for information - in the United States and Europe there is a whole list of medications, devices and equipment that are forbidden to be imported into the territory of the Russian Federation. It is a fact.

    And here’s what they came up with in the States: RevMedx, a company developing products for military doctors and ambulances, created a device that can stop bleeding from a bullet wound in 15 seconds. The device is called XStat, and its creators hope that the U.S. Medicines and Nutrient Control Commission will approve it for use by professional physicians.
    XStat consists of an applicator filled with dozens of tiny sponges that absorb blood when the device is inserted into an open wound. Of course, this filler will not be just lost somewhere inside the body. Each of the sponges is marked with a radiopaque mark, so that the absorbent will be visible on the x-ray when the injured person reaches the hospital.
    At the moment, military and civilian doctors are using ordinary gauze to stop bleeding. The doctor has to inject this coarse material into the wound cavity, sometimes to a depth of 12 centimeters, in order to stop the bleeding from the artery. This process not only causes severe pain, but does not always work - if the bleeding does not stop after three minutes, the doctor will have to remove the gauze from the wound and introduce a new one.
    The RevMedx team has already received $ 5 million from the US Army to complete work on the product. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also issued a grant to the company to develop a version of XStat designed to stop postpartum hemorrhage.

      1. For reasonable money with good quality - why not.
      At the same time, testing on a larger scale and various application conditions.
      2. Money will be beaten off - let something else be developed, and not be poured into pockets.

    There will be several options for the device - for the soldier’s first-aid kit (cuff weight - 3 kg)

    Unfortunately, this is a bit much, by weight, for an individual first-aid kit.

      plus to this, according to the description, one "cuff" - one wound.

    To inject a sponge into the bloodstream, arbitrarily well marked with "healing" radiation in the field is madness. But our device - the description looks very, very curious. As for civilian use ... it looks like there will be a fairly high probability of errors and problems in the operation of such a device. But for combat conditions - the chances of the wounded to survive increase many times over. Pray, chtoli, to the sisters Gigea and Panacea, so that the project does not die on the rack of bureaucracy? Otherwise, our clerks can ...

    The idea, of course, is great, but with real application, how to put it, uh ... it's bad. Each fighter is 3 kg (does not dare to say "extra") weight - it will be too much. And if there are two bullet wounds on different limbs? Or one in the leg, and the other cavity, in the stomach, then how? Still, the psi development is closer to reality. Or another option - three or four sets per soldier, but the weight of each is no more than 300-400 grams with minimal dimensions in an unused state.

    So you also did not see the sizes of the first-aid kit!

    I do not agree with the author of the article that the biggest losses on the battlefield are from internal bleeding. The biggest loss from primary shock is when the body kills itself. New easy-to-use drugs are needed, paramidol, unfortunately, disappears too quickly from first-aid kits. A bag weighing 3 kg ... it's too much, an intelligent fighter of ammunition is better to take more, do not go to the grandmother ...
