VETIGEL is a veterinary product, a plant-derived injectable gel that is claimed to quickly stop traumatic bleeding on external and internal wounds. Its name is coined from Medi-Gel, from the video game series Mass Effect. It uses a plant-based haemophilic polymer made from polysaccharides that forms a mesh which seals the wound. [1] It is manufactured by Cresilon, Inc., an American biotechnology company, which is also exploring human products derived from its technology, slated to launch as early as 2016. [2] The company plans on releasing a product for the military and the emergency medicine market first, followed by a product for the human surgical market when FDA approval is granted. [3]
