- The treatment comes in the form of a biodegradable gelatin substance that has been embedded with nano-sized silicate discs that aid in coagulation
- Once injected, the material locks into place at the site of the injury and rapidly decreases the time it takes for blood to clot
- The material solidifies at the site of the wound and begins promoting coagulation in the targeted area. It accomplishes this without the need for applied pressure
