As a young adult, Joe Landolina was constantly experimenting with natural materials in the lab and developed an adhesive hemostatic gel composed of plant-based polymers that could support the natural clotting process. To refine and manufacture the gel technology Joe, with his partner, Isaac Miller, founded Brooklyn-based Cresilon, Inc.

When applied to a wound, this gel, called Vetigel, stops bleeding in seconds. It’s plant-based and can conform to a wide range of wound geometries.

Marketed to veterinarians, Vetigel is amazing. You can learn more here: Cresilon Vestigel.
