Bacterin bioactive coatings will help save soldiers

Bacterin to Receive $1.4 Million From Defense Appropriation: The company will develop ways to "add bioactive coatings to temporary orthopedic fixation devices used to treat battlefield wounds. Anti-inflammatory, anti-infective, anti-coagulant, or pain relief properties embedded in a bioactive coating could significantly reduce the high rate of infection." They expect to be able to reduce the rate at which soldiers lose limbs--and even their lives--because of inadequate treatments that are applied on the battlefield to hold until the victim gets to a military hospital (70% of wounds get infected).

Thank you. If we must wage war, the women would really appreciate it if you could keep the men in one piece.
