Matthew D. Neal: A Major Step Forward in Trauma and Resuscitation Science
Matthew D. Neal, Associate Professor of Surgery, Critical Care Medicine, and Clinical and Translational Science at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Director of Emergency General Surgery at UPMC, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“A major step forward for trauma and resuscitation science.
Storage, stability, and efficacy of freeze dried (lyophilized) SynthoPlate (LyoSP)
Proud to be part of a collaborative effort with Anirban Sen Gupta, Pittsburgh Trauma and Transfusion Medicine Research Center, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Haima Therapeutics advancing the first freeze-dried synthetic platelet mimetics – a shelf-stable, portable solution designed to bring hemostatic therapy to the point of injury.
Unlike traditional platelets, which have specific storage requirements and have limited shelf life, this technology can remain stable for more than 1 year at room temperature and even tolerate high temperatures – opening the door to use in prehospital, military, and disaster settings.
We also showed that LyoSP can be delivered via an intraosseous line – making this feasible for delivery through common prehospital access techniques.
This is about closing the most critical gap in trauma care: delivering life-saving therapy when and where it’s needed most.
Excited about what this means for the future of hemorrhage control and field medicine.”
