The company "Inmed" has developed a new hemostatic agent

NPK Inmed, at a roundtable discussion at the Army-2015 forum, presented a means to stop bleeding based on chitosan nanofibers, designed specifically for the armed forces, reports MIC with reference to the press service of the enterprise.

“Bleeding when injured, accompanied by significant blood loss, is one of the main causes of death during military conflicts, as well as in the event of natural, man-made disasters. The timely effective stopping of bleeding at the prehospital stage is one of the main issues of emergency medicine. Pressing dressings in case of damage to large veins and arteries are ineffective, imposition of a hemostat is not always possible (for example, when injuring adjacent areas of the body or in the neck). Inmed's specialists have developed Hemoflex Combat, a hemostatic agent made from polymer nanofibers, which is intended to stop all types of bleeding when injured. ”, Says the release.

It is noted that the new tool “stops arterial, venous and capillary bleeding”, in its composition “chitosan is used - a natural, biocompatible polymer”.

The company continues to improve Gemoflex Kombat with the active participation of military medics and scientists.

“The main cause of death for the wounded on the battlefield is continued external bleeding. Stopping him quickly and effectively before a person receives medical care is the first task, and it is often the injured person who solves it. We have already conducted all the necessary tests that showed the effectiveness of Hemoflex Combat when used in emergency situations. We are currently working to improve the efficiency of Gemoflex Kombat without increasing its cost, which should contribute to the speedy introduction of the product to the market. ”- said the executive director of the company, Alexander Vnuchkin.

I think GOOD dressing material, for reasonable money, will not hurt anyone !!! And on the battlefield ...
(he just sticks to the wound "merging" with it ??? !!! chitosan is used - a natural, biocompatible polymer

on the basis of chitosan nanofibers - Chubais seriously "scratched" So we got rid of it !!! (a joke, probably )

[Sid.74]

About a year has passed since the presentation of the concept of the hemostatic dressing for the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. And now there is a full-fledged medical device.
Very well, it is necessary to put this kit into the civilian sphere for resuscitation specialists. This thing will save many lives.

[yushch]

We are significantly behind Western and Israeli development of hemostatic agents. Our security forces independently order them through intermediaries in NATO countries and Israel, they get it because six months before the expiration date, their military sells these drugs to anyone who wants and buy new ones.
The fact that we are successfully developing in Russia in this direction is very good news. Many lives will be saved.

(it just sticks to the wound "growing together" with it ??? !!! chitosan is used - a natural, biocompatible polymer

I have been using chitosan gel for many years.

It perfectly heals wounds, relieves inflammation, irritation - anything. Creates a thin protective pleasant (not like BF) film. Really a panacea.
But ..

Chitosan is an amino sugar, a derivative of a linear polysaccharide, macromolecules consist of randomly linked β- (1-4) D-glucosamine units and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. One of the sources of chitosan is shells of crustaceans.

- maybe it's stupidly ground snails.
As soon as you hear

Nanotechnology

, you begin to twitch. God grant that something truly breakthrough is created, and really advanced in technology, and not noodles to the ears of the consumer

has no analogues

News is definitely a plus.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

So this is not only for the armed forces! I would, in Chesslovo, carry such a tool in a first-aid kit with pleasure.

I agree! Such a useful device does not hurt in ordinary life.

[Telakh]

Buy Celox - the same, the same chitosan. "Developed" certainly sounds loud, but it has long been implemented everywhere.

[DrVintorez]

I really hope that this will NOT become useful for our aircraft, emergency situations etc. let it be better without war.

there are many questions about this tool: how to remove it? How long is hemostasis provided? after all, if we "clog" the main vessel with this means, then after the victim is delivered to the stage of specialized care, it will be necessary to restore the blood supply to the damaged area. there were already similar developments based on colloids, like silica-gel, and glue, like super-glue. especially did not take root. let's hope that this development is really a working and necessary thing. Putting such a thing in a motorist's first-aid kit is a lovely thing!

Antiseptic, and it is also an analgesic has long been developed. Mendeleev, I remember, was very interested in him.

[Mama_Cholli]

A good development, but only it needs to be used for civilians. For example, in first-aid kits, you must oblige to have this.

[Baloo]

in first-aid kits oblige to have such
Better in the form of a patch bandage. Not even a physician knows how to bandage.

[ksv1973]

If the cost of this miracle is not sky-high, there is every chance that in any pharmacy it will be easy to purchase it for any person. God grant ...

[Simon]

A good thing! It can be useful not only in the army, but also in everyday life.

[inkass_98]

They are chasing after the Americans, there, such hemostatic drugs last year or the year before last went to the troops. It is already good that their own, if only in sufficient quantities, were released, and not an installation advertising party.

[Andrea]

I read something like this about 20 years ago, as they say: the new is the well-forgotten old. Then the truth about nanotechnology was out of the question. Maybe this time they will not be forgotten.

[Alexander 3]

Finally, the developments of our scientists remain in Russia, and not over the hill. I would like to hope that this trend remains.

[Andrew Black]

It is not written ... This tool can then be deleted or how ??? after all, the essence of further hospitalization at the stages of evacuation is PHC - the primary surgical treatment of a wound ... I hope this remedy can be easily removed from the wound and treated ...

[Telakh]

Read about Celox and Quicklot.

[code54]

A long time ago, when buying a German car, I came across a full first-aid kit so hefty, there was a package with such plasters that looked like a sponge a couple of mm thick with some kind of transparent gel 5x10 cm in size approx., Each in a vacuum. packaging. With a clumsy translation, there was a "hemostatic-disinfecting pad for open wounds. Under a bandage" (I don't remember exactly the translation) a lot of examples and sizes and types of wounds were described with pictures.
So in the first-aid kits there was such a pity, not with us .... but the first-aid kit with the car was gone, there was no opportunity and time to try the remedy. And thank God! )))

If only they set up production. But not everything remains at the development stage.

Do not worry about appendicitis, now, if it is not complicated, it is done endoscopically.

Didn’t you cut out the appendix during the Soviet era?

They didn’t cut it out. Now it's scary, suddenly the appendix will be mixed up with something similar
It’s time to learn from

Surgeon Leonid Rogozov cut out appendicitis on his own
It was hard to believe such a miracle. But Rogozov withstood the one and a half hour procedure, sometimes even smiled at his inexperienced assistants and cheered. The Soviet people surprised the world for the second time in a year. On April 12, Yuri Gagarin went into space, literally a month later, on April 30, Rogozov operated on himself.

idiots who don’t know the basics of their profession are full of everywhere. and among doctors too. as the doctor say.

[Baloo]

Those who do it every day are able to. So Denis is not all lost.
But to impose a tourniquet, everyone should know and be able to competently. A typical mistake: they knotted a knot and are surprised that the blood does not stop. If you put a tourniquet from a hand-held rope, a belt, put in a stick, screwdriver any lever and twist until the bleeding stops. It is advisable to put a towel under the tourniquet so as not to damage the soft tissues. Be sure on a piece of paper at what time. The second mistake is to impose a tourniquet on the lower leg or forearm - there the bones on will completely compress all the arteries and their collaterals. If there is nothing, at least press down with a fist and hold until they are taken to the hospital.
We don’t have any kind of social advertising, but how to put a tourniquet on what to do with a burn, a tick bite, a dog, fainting, drowning, respiratory arrest and cardiac activity, no. Why?

And a note with the time of overdubbing. There were NVP lessons without any, even social advertising.

So there are only friends around

[Baloo]

A healthy young father of three children was brought on duty on duty, which theoretically could have been saved if the people around had correctly put on a tourniquet or at least someone would have guessed that the femoral artery was damaged and simply pressed with a fist.
In fact, clinical death at the gates of the hospital, critical blood loss, did not have time to do anything.
That's how much time has passed, I can’t forget.

[taram taramych]

At the first stages of domestic development, in the field of hemostatics, a similar product stopped bleeding, but often caused a burn. I wonder if this flaw has been fixed? Such means of salvation are needed as air, and not only in the sun!

[Telakh]

Chitosan-based products are the second generation. They do not burn.

[kolkulon]

John Rambo's method is no longer relevant?)

[navara399]

I want myself in the first-aid kit.

[Vadim237]

Campaign such a thing will cost 700-800 rubles.

[chelovektapok]

Any blood coagulant creates clots, read emboli. With extensive bleeding on large vessels, the effect is not instantaneous. Stenoses below the bleeding site are likely in any places, up to the "crystallization" of the venous system with the "flight" of artificial plaques of coagulated blood to the heart. "Miracle remedy" does not replace competent first aid. In a hospital, the surgeon will suture the vessels (at least the main ones) and will be very happy if the vessels are clogged with coagulant and clotted blood. And probably nothing will be able to help, except how to cut off the necrosis. From the point of view of military field surgery, if something vital is torn apart, then you cannot cover it up with "glue", only harm. It may work on capillary bleeding, but it will more "glue" what should not be. And there are also magnetic strips on the gas line, they say that they reduce fuel consumption by 30%! And the Nobel Committee doesn't even know! And the "inventors" are in no hurry to buy greenery either - everything is for people and for free! And they say that the silversmiths are extinct!

[Alexey RA]

It would be nice not only for this tool to go into the army, but also for the military personnel to be properly trained at least basic methods of first aid and self-help. Uv. Denis Mokrushin recently conducted a survey on this topic - most of those who served have not received such training recently. Preparation - at the level "with bleeding from the head - apply a tourniquet to the neck"(and duplicate with the voice of the guard dog barking).

And then, after all, Celox is a good thing, but if used incorrectly, it is very dangerous. As, however, and all means: even a simple tourniquet without a note on the application time is a possible way to necrosis.

[Svetovod]

For self-rescue or rescue of one who is unconscious is a good idea. But there is a moment - any bleeding must take place, blood must flow out, and it is better if it happens naturally, but for warriors who already have something to do besides wounds, you need a complex 1) disinfection + 2) adhesion of the wound.

[Zlovred]

It is necessary to put out the CIVIL analogue for sale - for tourists, bicycle riders, hunters, fishermen. Introduce at school the lessons of GO or OBZH MANDATORY credit for first aid !!! The more educated OUR CHILDREN are, the brighter OUR FUTURE !!!

[Sealek]

Geostatic plates are (checked by myself)

[ma_shlomha]

Today, the American hemostatic agent is part of individual first-aid kits for all members of special forces and combat clashes that respect themselves and their lives (performing special tasks related to life-threatening conditions). The Ukrainian Armed Forces have an excellent Ukrainian hemostatic agent, Sich-Turnstile. Glory to Gd and in Russia appeared own hemostatic agents.
