WASHINGTON, June 25 (UPI) -- Researchers have developed a sprayable foam that stops bleeding by forming a self-supporting barrier, which they said could help save lives in cases of extreme trauma.
During major injuries to the torso, such as in car accidents or military combat, compression of injuries to prevent bleeding can make damage to major organs worse. Inability to stop bleeding in such cases is the most common cause of death from combat-related injuries and a leading cause of death among young adults.
