College Kid Has Gel That Stops Bleeding Instantly

And if the reports are correct, the gel can even stop the bloodshed after slicing major arteries. If this is real, it will represent a huge turning point in the medical sciences. It could help prevent infections from contaminated blood (thanks gays and druggies!) and will revolutionize first aid.

From Fox here:

A New York University student has cooked up a magic gel, which he says can stop even heavy bleeding — an invention that could make routine bandages obsolete.

Joe Landolina, 20, a NYU junior, says his Veti-Gel almost instantly closes and begins healing even major wounds to internal organs and key arteries.

The lifesaving goo is an artificial version of something called the extracellular matrix, which makes up the connective tissue that helps hold animal bodies together.

“We use plant-derived versions of the polymers that make up your skin,” the whiz kid said. “If they go into a wound, they build on existing polymers. It’s like it tells your body to stop bleeding.”

The aspiring scientist says he tested the stuff on rats and was able to stop bleeding instantly after slicing the rodents’ livers and carotid arteries.

Just when you think there is nothing new, youngsters come along and try to change the world. So awesome. And now I hope that student will cook up that pork loin with some salt and pepper at a low heat.
