VetiGel is an algae-based polymer that stops a wound from bleeding. Created by Landolina, who is now the cofounder and CEO of the biotech company Suneris, which manufactures the product. The gel begins as algae that consist of small individual polymers that break down into even tinier pieces that can be put into gel and injected at the wound site. VetiGel is designed exclusively for veterinarians to stop internal and external bleeding. The gel activates blood's natural clotting process and is made with biocompatible components that can be absorbed directly into the body. By reassembling onto a wound site, VetiGel mimics the body’s extracellular matrix and accelerates the production of fibrin, which enables the body to clot rapidly. The company plans to ship the product to veterinarians later in the summer. VetiGel for humans is being planned
