A Turkish scientist has developed an antibacterial tissue that stops bleeding

A revolutionary invention of a Turkish scientist that has no analogues in the world: an antibacterial tissue capable of stopping bleeding. The fabric was made from yarn obtained as a result of research conducted by Professor Dr. Akif Hakan Kurt, Lecturer at the BAIBÜ Faculty of Medicine at the Department of Pharmacology, and Professor Dr. Binnaz Kaplangirai, Lecturer at the BUÜ Faculty of Engineering at the Department of Textile Engineering.

Professor Dr. Akif Hakan Kurt noted that the invention can be used in the fields of security, civil defense and search and rescue operations: "Clothes made from this fabric will be worn by our soldiers, police officers, civil defense and AFAD personnel traveling to the emergency zone. In case of injury, the bleeding will stop quickly, and the risk of infection will be minimized, so the chance to get to the hospital and survive will increase significantly."

At the moment, 8 prototypes of the fabric are undergoing final tests, the main preparatory work has already been completed and bilateral agreements between universities have been concluded. The project, developed in cooperation with TÜBITAK and industry, is planned to be implemented as soon as possible. Scientists also plan to create clothes in accordance with seasonal climatic conditions. "The second stage of the project will be carried out in order to transform it into a special form that can provide a person with coolness in summer and warmth in winter," the professor said.
