Maksym Lutsyk, Rostyslav Stoika, and Rostyslav Bilyi, Professors at Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University, developed a hemostatic agent that now saves the lives of Ukrainian soldiers. They got to work on it back in 2014, after russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Two years later, they patented it. And now, at the cost of American investors, they produce the hemostatic agent and send it to the front at no charge. When this hemostatic agent comes into contact with blood, it forms a viscous gel, which helps stop bleeding. In some respects, the “Blood Clotting Activator”, as the scientists called it, surpassed “Celox”, the well-established on the market drug produced in the UK.
