Veti-Gel (Medi-Gel)

College Student invents gel that halts bleeding

Joe Landolina may have invented a cure for bleeding. He claims that his creation, a substance called Veti-Gel, jump-starts the clotting and healing process so quickly that even wounds to internal organs or major arteries are able to close up instantaneously. And Joe has accomplished all this by his third year of college at NYU.

Soon enough we'll all live in the universe of

I feel like something like this is too good to be true, and will have some nasty side after effects or something. But if not and our science is just that amazing now, then this is awesome.

inb4 blood will nonstop clot, even inside your body

this is some trauma center stuff.

I like this, i like this a lot. If there's proven to be no threatening side effects, this could save lives. ESPECIALLY on the battlefield.... heck... even if it saves limbs that would be a blessing in itself.

Alright... Bring on the Exocores next science. Cmonnnn.

"We are eager to see the results," said Marisa Tricarico, who evaluates medical investments for the NYU Innovation Venture Fund. "He has impressed a lot of people," she said of Landolina (that includes assessments from medical experts).

Another student being used as a puppet by professors for grant/research money?

Also that was pretty shitty writing, but maybe it's because I take everything regarding medicine really critically.

With all the success he's already had, Landolina may feel it's time to have a drink and celebrate. But he'll have to wait a bit longer — he doesn't turn 21 until next January.

Not going to save you from internal bleeding if you can't get it inside you.
Not going to heal deep traumatic injury when you simply cover the surface.
Not going to be easy to reconnect blood vessels if you simply patch up the deep cut with this ECM gel - surgeons won't like you.

For most other intents and purposes, fine.
