When 22-year-old Joe Landolina was only 17, he invented a product that could stop bleeding within a matter of seconds. Five years later and that product, now branded as Vetigel, will soon start being shipped in the United States.
Vetigel is a simple gel made from a natural algae-based polymer, which Landolina discovered can cooperate with the body’s native cellular clotting signals to accelerate hemostasis — the name of the process in which blood flow is stymied.
