Entegrion Exhibits Stasilon ™ at National Combat Care Conference

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 13, 2008 – Life sciences company Entegrion will exhibit at the annual Advanced Technology Applications for Combat Casualty Care (ATACCC) Conference in Florida this week. The ATACCC is the DOD's premier scientific meeting, addressing critical advances in trauma medicine and the unique medical needs of the warfighter. Nearly all of DOD's combat casualty care scientists will present their latest research results at the conference.

At last year’s conference, Dr. Fischer, Entegrion’s chief scientific officer and inventor of Staslion ™ delivered several presentations to military combat casualty care experts on products that Entegrion had in development to aid in preserving the life of military personnel. At this year’s conference, Entegrion’s booth will showcase the Stasilon™ textile technology – a FDA cleared medical textile that stops bleeding – and two other products in development, Stasix ® and Resusix ™. Entegrion invented the Stasilon™ technology in consultation with the Office of Naval Research to address the military’s crucial need for effective, but low-cost, hemostatic wound dressings.

The first bandage application of the technology, Stasilon™ - FR for first responders, is currently in the hands of men and women in our armed forces and other government agencies through distribution at LC Industries-operated military base supply centers across the country.
