I don't think that Chitosan has protein in it that folks are allergic to. Chitosan counts more as dietary fiber...Quote:

Interesting. Thanks for posting. I'm definitely curious to see some real world usage. I hope it works.
It looks like an interesting product. I'd like to see some independent third party testing too. I'd also be curious to know what trauma surgeons would think about dozens of little sponges packed into a wound.
Getting a bunch of material into the wound cavity, and if you're using hemostatic agents getting them as close to the actual bleed at possible, is definitely going to help with clotting. No doubt about it.
(FYI - Chitosan shouldn't have any effect on people with shelf fish allergy and if the quick clot you have is still the powdered stuff that burns you need to toss it and spend the $50 on the new stuff.)
It will be really cool to see this in action... not on someone with a gunshot wound, just see it expand in water (yes I am a child).
I've got you covered.Quote:

Very cool!
Looks promising.
Irving, the article said the applicator was 30 mm (approximately 1.2 inches) in diameter but there was a smaller applicator only 12 mm (approximately half an inch) in diameter for narrower wounds.Quote:
