Jan 27, Kathmandu - South Korean scientists have developed a spray powder that can stop bleeding in a second. This technology, developed by a research team at KAIST University, can immediately control severe bleeding, according to the American scientific journal Medical Express.

The scientists have made this spray, called AgCl Powder, from a combination of natural materials such as alginate, gellan gum, and chitosan. The powder sprayed in this technology reacts with calcium in the blood to form a gel immediately and stops bleeding. This powder has the ability to absorb blood seven times its weight.

This technology, which was first announced on December 29, is claimed to provide faster and more effective results than traditional methods of stopping bleeding. Scientists believe that this technology can prove to be extremely useful in saving lives in war zones, accident sites, and surgeries.

But there are still some challenges to widespread use of this technology. Obtaining approval from medical regulatory authorities, mass production, and making it accessible to the public are the main challenges.

This invention has the potential to usher in a new era in emergency medical services, increasing life-saving rates and significantly improving the treatment of war and accident casualties. Experts say that this technology could prove extremely useful, especially in military operations, emergency medical services and surgical treatment.
