Research abstract
This SBIR Phase I project presents a novel hydrogel-based approach to hemorrhage control of extremity injuries, which would allow the stoppage of bleeding of hard to reach arteries. Such a system would increase a soldier's chance of survival and would allow medical personnel to successfully treat the injury in a battlefield venue. The Phase I program will involve the synthesis and characterization of the hydrogels and evaluation of their swelling in blood plasma. In an Option program, the hydrogel system will be tested for its ability to prevent liquid flow in an apparatus designed to simulate hemorrhage control. (P-040690)
