“The XStat™ is a first-in-kind hemostatic device for the treatment of gunshot and shrapnel wounds on the battlefield. XStat™ works by injecting a group of small, rapidly-expanding sponges into a wound cavity using a syringe-like applicator. Each sponge contains an x-ray detectable marker. In the wound, the XSTAT sponges expand and swell to fill the wound cavity within 20 seconds of contact with blood. This creates a temporary barrier to blood flow and provides hemostatic pressure.”

Air Force Medical Support Agency (AFMSA) personnel requested that MilTech work with RevMedX of Wilsonville, Oregon to develop and implement an Advanced Manufacturing Plan. MilTech has been working with eDaptive Computing and the Oregon Manufacturing Extension Center to help RevMedX increase production, understand costs and quality challenges, and meet DoD's delivery requirements.
