๐ฉน New Spray-On Powder Stops Severe Bleeding in Just 1 Second by Forming an Instant Gel
Researchers at KAIST in South Korea developed a powder called AGCL โ a blend of alginate, gellan gum, and chitosan โ that transforms into a strong hydrogel barrier within one second of contacting blood. It absorbs up to 7 times its weight in blood and works on deep, irregular wounds where conventional products often fail. Originally designed for battlefield use, it could soon transform emergency care in ambulances and hospitals worldwide. Could this become the future standard of wound treatment?
