Medical manufacturer RevMedX has gained XSTAT clearance for devices that stem profuse bleeding from knife and gun-related injuries. The devices, called FDA 12 and FDA 30, work much like large syringes, delivering large quantities of absorbent foam tablets into wounds. The foam rapidly expands to stem bleeding and put pressure on the wound. The tablets can be tracked and removed using X-ray fluoroscopy during surgical procedures.
