- FDA approves clinical trial for potentially life-saving trauma foam
The FDA has approved the use of a potentially lifesaving foam on patients in a clinical trial at a Boston hospital
- This ResQFoam is Going to Save the Military Countless Lives
Arsenal Medical has developed a foam system, called ResQFoam™, is designed to control acute hemorrhage. The way ResQFoam works is by injecting two liquid polymers, which together combine to create a foam. This foam quickly expands though actively flowing blood to compresses the injury and control bleeding. Upon undergoing surgery, the material is removed by the surgeon.
