The published data has demonstrated that the currently available resuscitation fluids have detrimental effects on trauma outcomes.By addressing these deficiencies it is expected that the outcomes will improve. The crystalloid based resuscitation fluid in development by GanD Inc. has been designed to address all of the shortcomings of the currently available solutions.The solution, GND-001, is a cr ...

Current therapies to prevent scar formation and contracture of burns are minimally effective. QuickMed Technologies (QMT) proposes to develop an advanced therapy to enhance healing and prevent contraction of burn scars by combining the advanced prototype BURN-PLUS dressing with Endoform dermal template. BURN-PLUS is an occlusive island dressing with an adhesive apron bonded onto a super absorben ...

Providing Army combat medics with meaningful experience in treatment of battlefield injuries is a particular challenge. Moulage has the potential to assist in acquiring what could otherwise be very hard-to-come-by preparatory experience for distressing real-life emergencies medics and soldiers may encounter in the field. However, current approaches to moulage are limited in their ability to reflec ...

In our Phase II project Oceanit will further develop the proof of concept LCG and associated high thermal conductivity tubing into fully functional prototypes. These prototypes will be tested using a human model, thermal manikin (TM) and field testing by AFSOC personnel. Our approach provides a fundamental improvement, increasing human-machine coupling, with far reaching benefits in efficiency. Th ...

A joint can exit its socket when it is exposed to an unhealthy level of force or rotation, causing a large amount of pain and loss of functionality in the limb. Joint dislocation can easily be diagnosed by a physical examination: palpitation of the affected joint will usually cause pain and tenderness in the patient, and the dislocated head of the bone can be felt out of its usual position in the ...

This Phase I project is relevant to the ultimate goals of this program announcement given the prevalence of the IED which often creates complex burn wounds on the face and skin that often form hypertrophic scars that often contract over time. Burn wound healing is a complex process that includes phases of inflammation, granulation tissue formation, re-epithelialization, and, finally, remodeling. ...
