It is intended for the treatment of mild and moderate wounds
A wound healing agent similar to what could only be seen in science fiction films before was presented by metropolitan scientists. They can be used in military field conditions without having a high medical qualification. In appearance, this is a gun that “shoots” at the site of a cut or rupture of tissues, first with hemostatic and therapeutic agents, and then “seals” everything with a special substance to isolate it from the external environment.

As reported by «MK» in NUST MISIS REC of Biomedical Engineering, their regenerative gun is designed to treat mild to moderate injuries. The device has two standard syringes with a volume of 20 ml, which are filled with medicines and biopolymers before work. Antibiotics and anesthetics can be filled in them to prevent bacterial infection and pain relief.
Unlike Western analogues, in the first Russian «fabric gun» for the first time in the world, a system of ultrasonic spraying of «cross-linking» agent. When the trigger is pressed, the ultrasonic system simultaneously collects all the components in the print area and cures the biopolymer, creating something like a protective film on the surface of the treated wound.
According to the author of the development, engineer Timur Aydemir, another difference between the new of the device is its complete autonomy: it is powered by built-in rechargeable batteries that can be charged via a USB port.
Scientists have already conducted a series of studies of the invention on laboratory mice based on the N.N. N.N. Blokhin. Now their tissues are being studied after healing.
