My goal is to go over some new technology's in medical wound closure that I think are very renovating .These are very important new technology's, not only to the developing world, but anywhere people live. Depending on the nature of a severe wound, the human body can bleed out as fast as 10 to 15 minutes. If the wound is internal or external slow bleeding it can take 20 to 30 minutes, longer depending on the circumstances. I saw these new technology's on YouTube, I thought they could be life changing Technology's in emergency medical and first aid treatment. In most cases, when a major injury has accrued, the deference between life and death can be how to stop the bleeding, wherever it is coming from. The ability to stop bleeding both in emergency's away from the hospital, or after surgery in the hospital, is always evolving and really interesting to see where it is heading.

TopClosure Tension Relief system
The Top Tension Relief System, (TRS) was primarily used for small wounds but now has uses in larger surgical opening. This system can be a noninvasive way to close a wound or cut. By sticking two attachment plates with adhesive tape on both side of the cut or wound, you start to stretch the skin back together. Using an approximation strap between the two attachment plates, you can slowly stretch the skin back together before surgery or after. It is like a zip tie, the approximation strap has teeth that fits in the locking attachment plates. TRS can also be attached in invasive ways too, with staple, sutures, and K-wires if needed.
How mini sponges could save lives on the battlefield and beyond
Combat medics have one mission: keep the wounded alive until they can be safely treated elsewhere. But while survival rates have improved dramatically in the last few decades, one of the biggest challenges that medics still face is uncontrolled bleeding.
The News Hour’s (Cat Wise) reports on a new invention that stops bleeding much faster than traditional gauze. RevMedx featured on PBS News Hour's new Breakthroughs Series November 7, 2014
They call this new product the XSTAT
It is hard to get pressure on all types of wounds, like under arms and deep open arteries. By using the XSTAT, the new mini sponge technology, has been able to get the needed pressure and stop bleeding in ways that they have not been able to before. RevMedx have also made the it possible for the sponges to show up on an ex-ray, just in case one is left in the wound. They have not yet placed this new technology in the hands of combat medics. RevMedx has been given a contract to make the XSTAT and start shipping them for use. RevMedix is also making so products for use in smaller diameter deep wounds as well, these deep wound are hard get to with current devices and the XSTAT. They are developing a device that is the size of a big pen, it can deliver mini sponges in deep small wounds.

Dr. Tyler McQuade
"Battlefield logistics are a challenge regardless of the mission. Adversaries, terrain, and the environment can all serve to complicate the process of delivering supplies to war fighters. The current Department of Defense (DoD) approach to medical supply logistics is limited in its reach to far-forward emergency settings, response to emergent in-theater threats, and utility for bio-preparedness stockpiling. It can often take weeks to months to manufacture and airlift organic pharmaceuticals and protein therapeutics to battlefield front lines, meaning that critical medical supplies often do not arrive in time where they are needed most. Furthermore, the need to prepare medical supplies in advance based on an anticipated, specific threat can result in wasted materials, labor, and money when that threat is not realized. The DoD needs a new approach to manufacturing and delivering pharmaceuticals to enhance disaster responsiveness and enable timely response to emergent threats".
