Montclair, NJ, August 6th 2019 – Endomedix, Inc., today announced that it will present its patented revolutionary technology to control bleeding in battlefield injuries at the upcoming Military Health System and Research Symposium (MHSRS) annual meeting. Loss of blood still remains the most common cause of potentially preventable deaths in battlefield casualties, two-thirds of such deaths result from truncal hemorrhage that cannot be controlled with tourniquets. The poster will feature the biopolymer technology’s 5 complementary mechanisms of action that lead to fast hemostasis of heavy bleeds. 4 of the 5 complementary mechanisms are unique and the subject of the company’s latest patent applications. Unlike currently available hemostats that require continuous manual pressure to be effective, the Endomedix device can spray or flow on without manual pressure and stays in place.
“While developing this technology for surgery, we discovered that it could also be used to control bleeding in aggressive wounds analogous to battlefield injuries” noted Richard Russo, CEO of Endomedix, Inc. “We believe that our technology presents multiple opportunities to address unmet needs of the US military, and addressing battlefield hemorrhage is only one of them.”
The poster will be available in the “Publications” section of the Endomedix, Inc. website.
