Veti-Gel was initially intended for veterinary use but the inventors' hope is that one day the gel will be manufactured for human use. Landolina has applied for a patent and is beginning the FDA approval process.
How it works:
- A Body recognizes the matrix produced by Veti-Gel
- The matrix meshes into the wound's surface and instantly starts to form a seal over the wound
- The gel then activates the body's coagulation system to form a stronger clot
- The gel can easily be removed after bleeding has stopped or it can be sprayed with a protective coat that acts and feels like skin-keeping the gel in place will heal the tissue faster

This is super! The possibilities are endless as to where this stuff could be used. This truly is a medical breakthrough.
Wishing you a fabric filled day!

Wow, that could save a lot of lives! I hope they can develop it to market readiness soon.
That's great! I hope it works and if it doesn't I hope it's still useful like superglue is. I'd try it out.
I would like a tube of that for my first aid kit, please. Or for my dad, who cuts himself every time he picks up a knife. What a great invention!
