Neural tourniquet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neural tourniquet — this is an example of bioelectronic medicine, a proposed method of stopping bleeding by stimulating the vagus nerve, which connects to the brain and spleen. This method was invented and tested at the Feinstein Institute.[1]
The neural tourniquet may offer a non-invasive way to stop uncontrolled bleeding.[2] As of 2024 it remained in animal trials.[3]
The neural tourniquet could be used to treat internal injuries from accidents, falls, or gunshots by reducing bleeding.
