How does XStat work?

Most of the time, both in war and in peace, the most serious part of the wound of a shot arrives with the hemorrhage what it causes; It is the main cause of death when there is a bullet impact. In the battlefield, for example, it is the overwhelming majority of the deaths that are generated.

The fight against the results a bullet wound that generates a hemorrhage intense range from the classic pressure of the gauze against the wounds, the turnstiles, until the burned in them to seal the opening and stop the bleeding.

But the results, in all cases, are usually lean compared to saving life. However, apparently that could change, radically, from the XStat , a product that could stop the hemorrhage in just 15 seconds, developed by Revolutionary Medical Technologies (RevMedx) .

 

How does XStat work?

The XStat is a container, similar to a syringe for injection, that introduces one or several, as the case may be, small sponges in the wound , that once in the interior they begin to expand exerting pressure from the interior towards the outside, creating with it a dike or container of the blood flow . This allows a much longer time for arrival at a hospital center, or assistance on-site, to receive the appropriate treatment.

The developers told the media that after trying different materials they finally decided on the cellulose . According to his comments, apart from aseptic, it was the most suitable material to obtain the desired product, given its qualities to form a barrier and stop the blood flow .

Given the risks that could represent that one of the sponges was inside the body after a surgery , they endowed it with a brand in X that studies with x-rays do not ignore.

Beyond the wounds of bullet, the creators consider that the spectrum of health and wounds where it can be is larger and safer than what has been thought to date, such as births , where many times the wound of the mother ends in a great hemorrhage .

The XStat , is already in the market at a price of $ 100 USD, but it is expected that when produced on a massive scale, its price will be drastically reduced, and that in the near future it will not only be part of a soldier's campaign kit, but of all the health spectrum that is responsible for wounds Y hemorrhages all types.
