Battelle developing wrap to save limbs on battlefield

On the battlefield, a wound can go from bad to worse in seconds. Stopping the bleeding and keeping the wound clean are paramount. Away from the action, Battelle is working with Halyard Health, a Georgia-based medical-technology company, to develop a wrap that they hope will help preserve severely injured limbs. The Office of Naval Research has signed a four-year, $14.4 million deal with Battelle and Halyard to help troops survive catastrophic injuries.
