Patients presenting ruptured esophageal varices have a 40-70% fatality rate, and recurrent bleeding is typical. The Oregon Medical Laser Center has created a chitosan dressing for the Department of Defense to be used on massive hemor-rhages. To extend the application of chitosan bandages for hemorrhage control and tissue repair of esophageal varices, the Clinic team has designed a non-invasive endoscopic delivery system of a chitosan bandage for use under video guidance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oregon Medical Laser Center Engineering, 2003-04 Liaison(s): Kenton Gregory Advisor(s): Elizabeth Orwin Students(s): Rick Bente (PM), Heather Bryan, Jeffrey Lin, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[164],"tags":[484],"class_list":["post-12719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-engineering","tag-oregon-medical-laser-center"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12719\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
