Tensiometer for Band-Wound Adhesion Studies

Abstract

This 2013 DURIP proposal is for the purchase of an Instron model 5943 tensiometer (system price = $58,020). This instrument will support research in an active DoD project, Technologies for Hemostasis and Stabilization of the Acute Traumatic Wound (award number: W81XWH-11-1-0836; active 2011-2015). The intent of this project is to study hemostasis of severe exsanguinating injuries. The data obtained with the tensiometer will facilitate the design of a fibrin sealant bandage to treat hemorrhage from solid organ injury in a coagulopathic subject, thus allowing the PI to fulfill the Statement of Work for the funded DoD project.
