I watched that whole show, it's pretty amazing what doctors can do these days. HAZAAA!!! the wonders of medicine!

 

[BryanM&P]

thats amzing!

 

[rambone]

Pretty cool, and they didn't mention a single drug!

Will be curious to the long term studies.

 

[redneckmedic]

Unfreaken Believable! I wonder what the contraindications are since only a dozen folks have been tested an people get burned everyday.

 

[TopDog]

That is amazing. My question - is this treatment wide spread, if not, why not? Maybe someone on the forum from the medical field knows the status of this treatment.

thats crazy, now if they could get the same process to work for cancer. none the less a great medical breakthrough

The results in the video are kinda misleading, while the burn looked bad it wouldn't of needed a skin graft anyway and the scaring would of been minimal. I've yet to see the gun tested on 3rd degree burns where a skin graft would be required. This is where the gun should really shine in preventing infection if it works as intended.

on the natgeo program dealing with it there was a soldier or cop who was burn horribly all over one side of his body and what that gun did was nothing short of miraculous.

I wonder if on day they could make the technology good enough to regrow other organs in the body also? It would be great if they could! Seems to have much potential.

it was an hour long program that dealt with all sorts of organs not just the skin, it really was quite interesting. I'm sure it will get replayed over and over.

Does anyone know the title of the program?

Thank you,

i would like to see that too. i really hope this thing pans out. that would be such a blessing for us survivors. i was 48% 3rd degree and it took 70 days before i was able to go home. it took several years to be back to where i was before functionality wise.

the minimization of scaring would be great not just for looks but functionality too. scar tissue bands contracts over time, ive had several released and my left hand has to be opened back up every few years. round three of that surgery gets scheduled on the 18th.

VERY freakin cool!


Strangely enough, I was mildly burned today at work.
Hair off both arms, eyebrows, eyelashes, beard singed.
First degree burns on left forearm.
Nothing needing new skin but....

Important Tip:
Silicon spray getting ignited by an electric motor is pretty impressive.

When I was a teenager I blew myself up with rocket fuel.

I really could have used this technology then. I healed, but it hurt. Severe first and second degree burns suck, face and hands.

I feel for you.

My old lady wishes the same thing about my organ.

 

[oldfb]

Way cool.

Too bad this isn't readily available now.
The powerful drug companies will want to kill this because it will cut into their antibiotic sales and profits. The hospitals will overcharge for it and since it will cost them revenue in lost days in burn unit ICU.

But I wonder if we could convince the insurance companies to group buy and donate them to save them money long term.
The way the auto insurance companies donated dash cameras to local Police Departments so they could save money on accidents and dui lawsuits for repeat offenders. Lol
