HemCon Medical Technologies has been a boon to US soldiers wounded on the battlefield. The company's proprietary HemCon bandages and ChitoFlex dressings stop bleeding in trauma patients; in fact, the dressing becomes adhesive upon contact with blood and can prevent hemorrhage. HemCon bandages are made from chitosan, a polysaccharide derived from dried shrimp shells and known for its clotting abilities. Besides the military, its products are used by first responders, oral surgeons, and hospitals. The company was founded in 2001 with partial funding from the US Army; HemCon bandages are now part of every Army medic's standard kit.
