NEW GOO STOPS BLEEDING INSTANTLY
May 18, 2008 - A startup based in Cambridge, Mass., says that it plans to soon begin clinical
trials of a nanostructured material that stops bleeding almost instantly. A startup called Arch
Therapeutics has licensed the technology from MIT and is developing manufacturing
processes for making it in large amounts.
The new material can be poured over a site and will stop the bleeding almost at once.
The first application, pending Food and Drug Administration approval, will be for use during
surgery to quickly stop bleeding and even prevent it in the first place. Floyd Loop, currently an
advisor to Arch Therapeutics, and formerly a cardiovascular surgeon and the head of
Cleveland Clinic, says that it could be useful in a wide variety of surgeries, including brain,
heart, and prostate. For example, he says that when large tumors are removed, "there's a lot of
diffuse bleeding around the site, and you have to spend a lot of time with sponges and cautery
stopping it."
