American medical devices company RevMedx has come up with a new device which they claim will be able to stop bleeding from gunshot wounds.

RevMedx initially tested the device on animal injuries and later on refined the sponges, which are also marked with a special X that shows up in X-Rays in order to ensure that none of them are left behind in the body. The device is expected to cost around $100 and is made up of lightweight polycarbonate.
US Army Special Operations medic John Steinbaugh, who has since joined RevMedx, said that the device would have helped a number of gunshot victims in the battlefield. “I spent the whole war on terror in the Middle East, so I know what a medic needs when someone has been shot. I’ve treated lots of guys who would have benefitted from this product. That’s what drives me”, he said.
