Revolutionary Synthetic Blood Clotting System to Combat Internal Bleeding.

Researchers have developed a two-component synthetic replacement for blood clots that targets internal injuries without causing any unwanted damage of its own. The synthetic process has only been tested on mice, but it effectively triggered the blood clotting part of the natural hemostasis reaction to wounds and proved significantly better at stopping bleeding than previous approaches. The system would automatically target the site of the problem and provide some help for the body until more comprehensive medical assistance can be given.
