On A Positive Note: ‘Miracle Medical Gel’ Used To Save Pets’ Lives

This is eight year old Benji. Two weeks before that video was taken, Benji was brought into emergency vet hospital in pretty bad shape for a stabbing wound that occurred between the 12th and 13th rib. It was something where we had a massively come from the intercostal artery that we needed to control. But we're also, we're dealing with an open chest wound to control the bleeding. Veterinary surgeon, Matthew Morgan's used a medical gel made in Brooklyn by a Brooklynite. Better gel is a blend of two polymers that come out of algae to effectively long chains of sugar that allow you when applied to a bleeding wound to nearly instantly stop that bleeding. Joe Mandolin co founded Crystalline Inc when he was just a freshman at N Y U and started working on the gel over the first decade and we spent a lot of time making the product ready for market, making sure that the rental of the testing that was necessary in order to support the safety and the efficacy of the product and building our manufacturing, the gel was approved for animal use. And in 2020 he says they started distributing it to vets like Dr Morgan's, it just gives us a little bit more comfort when we're dealing with areas that we could see a massive blade and be able to control that. If we do see that Mandolin is now working on getting FDA approval for a human version of the jail, which he hopes will one day help troops in the battlefield is something that can drastically not only save patient lives but allow the clinician be able to do their jobs better for now though. It's helping warriors like Benji get back to what they do best.
