A new spray, made of individuals own stem cells is now being used as medication. Currently this apray has been tested on burn vistims and has shown remarkable reuslts. The University of Utah pilot project removes red blood cells, and then takes a concentrate of platelets and progenitor, which is combined with calcium and thrombin to produce a jelly like substance.
One such example of the sprays success was healing a severe burn on the foot of a man with daibetes. The mans burn was and open wound for many months and would heal, leaving it open to the possibility of infection. After this spray was applied the skin rapidly improved. Another women with a severe burn and a failed skin graft. With the second graft, and the application of the spray, the graft took and she was on her way to recovery.
The military has been keeping updated on the progress of these experiments. They are very interested in how it could help the health of soldiers in battle. As the project progresses we will hopefully learn more applictions for this miracle spray.
