COMPANY – AVERTING LIVES LOST BY HEMORRHAGING
Bleeding to death is the oldest forms of death and even in a time of modern medicine, people die this way every day in emergency rooms, combat zones and increasingly on the streets. 40% of trauma-related deaths are because of hemorrhaging in the pre-hospital period causing half a million people to die every year from traffic accidents, combat wounds and other severe trauma. 1, 2, 3 even 4 minutes are decisive save a life once bleeding starts.
In this countdown, we need a product that anyone can use to help stop a victim from bleeding immediately – our innovative technology for solutions for blood clotting applications was born.
THE PRODUCT
SpeedM is an innovative emergency wound dressing that is designed to stop bleeding as fast as possible. In addition, it is designed to stick less to the wound and allow for a less traumatic follow up treatment.
Our dressings are made of a special composite fleece fitted with a kaolin material, halloysite nanotubes (HNT). This natural mineral compound immediately triggers the body’s natural clotting response to stop blood flow within 2-3 minutes. The device is currently in the process of CE-certification.
