Executive Summary
RevMedx Inc. received FDA de novo approval in April for battlefield use of XStat, which treats noncompressible bleeding from internal wounds. The injectable sponges of XStat expand upon contact with blood to fill the wound cavity, thus creating a temporary barrier and providing hemostatic pressure until hospital care can be rendered.
