This summer I volunteered as a first responder on ambulances and unfortunately witnessed many patients profusely bleeding. I believe that if there was such a device at the scene of a trauma incident that could immediately close up a wound, many lives could be saved. This device would directly clean and protect a gun shot wound, battle would, or even just a deep cut. It is critical to work fast when trying to save a bleeding patient and with this tool, stitches could become a last resort and there would be less of a need for exact blood types and enough blood supply for transfusions. With the use of this tool, patients would arrive to a hospital in a more stable condition and with a wound that is less prone to infection.
