Israeli-Developed Bandage that Stops Bleeding within Seconds Now Sold Globally

(NoCamels-Israeli Innovation News) Ido Levy - In September 2016, two Israeli police officers were stabbed in a terror attack in Jerusalem. One was bleeding profusely from a stab wound to the neck, which hit a major artery. A paramedic at the scene applied a new, Israeli-developed bandage that stopped the bleeding in under a minute. The WoundClot bandage is a plant-based cellulose gauze that stimulates the body's coagulation process. The bandage can absorb over 2500% of its own weight and can be applied in situations in which compression can be harmful, such as with stab wounds and head and neck injuries. It remains biologically active for 24-36 hours and breaks down naturally in the body within a week. The Israeli medical company behind it, Core Scientific Creations (CSC), now sells WoundClot in 32 countries.
