UW 91自拍ers have created a novel system that can measure platelet function within two minutes and can help doctors determine which trauma patients might need a blood transfusion upon being admitted to a hospital.

91自拍 91自拍ers have developed a new injectable polymer that strengthens blood clots, called PolySTAT. Administered in a simple shot, the polymer finds any unseen injuries and has the potential to keep trauma patients from bleeding to death before reaching medical care.

The 91自拍’s College of Engineering 2014 fall lecture series will feature faculty 91自拍ers in engineering and medicine who are improving cardiac medical care with new technologies.
