Adhesive Bandage	Novel Treatment of Deep Cuts, Scrapes and Puncture Wounds
Topical wounds are often minor and heal quickly within six hours of the injury, but some wounds can lead to extensive blood loss or an infection or injury to deeper structures. First aid steps when treating cuts or other types of common wounds include controlling the bleeding, cleaning the wound, applying a topical antibiotic ointment, covering the wound with a bandage, and frequently changing the bandages. Most wounds respond to gentle direct 10-20 minutes pressure with a clean cloth or bandage. When pressure fails to stop the bleeding medical assitance is required. When gentle pressure is not enough to stop the bleeding, these wounds need to be sewn shut by a physician (stitches or sutures).	A single application of ClotBlock Bandage  inmediately stops the bleeding from deep wounds, desinfects and seals them hermertically, and accelerates the healing process preventing the formation of visible scars. The bandage is coated with a second generation fibrin polymer. The sealant acts as an extracellular matrix that “glues” the edges of the wound together while increasing the rate of epithelialisation, promoting fibroblast differentiation, wound contraction, and formation of granulation tissue.
