(Times of Israel) David Shamah - Vigor Medical Technologies, makers of a system that can seal internal and external wounds without suturing, bandages, or tape, was named Israel's most innovative company by Ofir Akunis, minister of science, technology and space. Vigor's wound repair system is designed for use in cases of thoracic trauma, a chest injury that can cause the lungs to collapse. As many as 20% of soldiers injured in battle die from collapsed lungs - but if treated within an hour, the injured person has an 80% chance of survival, according to Vigor. The company's sealant devices can be carried in the field by medical personnel and administered in case of an emergency.
