Nanostructured Material stops Bleeding Instantly
16 May 2008Earlier a synthetic peptide was discovered at MIT and recently Rutledge Ellis-Behnke, researcher at MIT’s Brain and Cognitive Science Department found that it can be of potential use for stopping bleeding. A liquid containing synthetic peptide was applied to a wound in animal and found that it quickly stops bleeding. Several other compounds have been developed to stop bleeding, but this synthetic peptide is more effective and faster than all other compounds.
The material is based on the natural occurring amino acids and easy to apply and does not have any side effects. It has a long self-life and is also easily broken down by the body and therefore doesn’t require to be removed from the body. It is best to stop bleeding at accidental sites or on the battlefield.
Arch Therapeutics is developing commercial scale manufacturing process so that it can be made available at large scale. Although Food and Drug Administration’s approval is pending on this new nanostructured compound, once approved it will be of much use during wide range of surgeries, including brain, heart and prostate.
