The Gist

KAIST researchers create a spray-on powder that stops severe bleeding within one second by instantly forming a strong gel, effective even on deep, irregular wounds.

Scientists at KAIST have developed a spray-on powder that can halt life-threatening bleeding in about one second by forming a robust gel over wounds instantly. This innovation works effectively on deep and irregular injuries where conventional hemostatic products often fail.

Designed initially for battlefield use, the powder remains stable and effective after years of storage in harsh conditions, making it highly suited for emergency care and hospital settings.
