Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Trauma Medicine
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Battlefield trauma requires immediate hemostatic intervention for critical blood loss.
  • Conventional methods like tourniquets are limited, especially for noncompressible torso hemorrhage.
  • Novel, lightweight hemorrhage control strategies are needed for evolving military operations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the hemostatic efficacy of the Silicone-Based Polymer (SBP) Universal Combat Matrix (UCM).
  • To assess the multiday hemostatic capabilities of UCM in a noncompressible torso hemorrhage model.
  • To provide insights for potential deployment in battlefield trauma scenarios.

Main Methods:

  • A Grade IV liver injury was created in swine (n=3) under controlled conditions.
  • The injuries were treated with the SBP UCM, followed by intensive care unit monitoring.
  • Post-treatment assessment included 48-hour monitoring and histological evaluation of liver tissue.

Main Results:

  • Average hemostatic control time was 247.3 seconds; all swine survived 48 hours.
  • No hemorrhage was observed at 48 hours post-treatment.
  • Histological analysis showed effective clot formation, fibrinogenesis, and tissue regeneration.

Conclusions:

  • SBP UCM demonstrated rapid and reliable hemostasis in a severe liver injury model.
  • The material was well-tolerated, with no adverse physiological effects observed.
  • SBP UCM shows potential as a lightweight, multimodal wound dressing for traumatic injuries.
