4) Chemically Reactive Ocular, Wound and Dermal Therapeutics (CROWD)
Abstract
While there exist multiple processes and reagents for cleaning physical surfaces that have been contaminated with chemical agents, there are limited options for human skin, and nothing that could be used for open wounds. This represents a source of continuing exposure for the warfighter and a hazard to medical personnel treating them. CROWD focuses on developing a ready-to-use product to remove Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA) contamination on skin, eyes and ultimately wounds. Removing or neutralizing CWA decreases the total exposure to the warfighter and allows optimal effectiveness of other medicines.
