The task of combat medics is to evacuate a wounded soldier from the battlefield as quickly as possible, and the task of military doctors is to provide first medical aid. If a soldier needs a complicated surgery, he/she is transported by plane to a hospital in Kyiv or another large city where highly qualified surgeons work. It takes a lot of time. But in the current circumstances it is just impossible…
In order to save precious time for the wounded, scientists from Taras Shevchenko University Clinic and medical practitioners decided to create a device that would connect the damaged vessels and help military surgeons rescue the wounded in the early stages of medical evacuation. This is how the idea of the project that won in the NRFU call in 2020 arose. To read more about the project please follow this link.
Since 2014, the project PI and vascular surgeon Viktor Chernyak has been operating on fighters who defend the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
We live as long as science lives! We are grateful to soldiers of all fronts for this!
