17 Year Old Invents VetiGel, A Product That Heals Wounds In Seconds
Originally invented when he was 17 out of his grandfathers
lab, the now 22 Joe Landolina, has invented an algae-based polymer that when
injected into an open, gushing, wound will stop bleeding within seconds and
heal the wound in a few minutes. This is the product of VetiGel which is both a
strong adhesive to hold the wound together and gives the building blocks for
the body to produce fibrin, the protein that helps repair tissue long term,
says creator Landolina. Landolina is now the cofounder and CEO of Suneris, a
biotech company that creates the gel, and the company is beginning to ship to
veterinarians later this summer and humans will soon be using this gel, first
in the military, then in operating rooms and then in households.
