Competition key information
This Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) competition is run on behalf of the Defence Medical Services (DMS) and UK Research & Innovation (UKRI). Non-Compressible Haemorrhage (NCH) remains the leading cause of potentially preventable death in conflict. Despite significant improvements in combat casualty care, and reductions in overall mortality, patients with significant NCH face a high chance of dying from their injuries before they can reach a surgical facility. This risk applies to both service men and women injured on duty, but also affects civilians afflicted by life-threatening NCH such as those caused by motor-vehicle accidents, falls from height or inter-personal violence (including the use of knives).
This call seeks novel interventions starting at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 2-4, for NCH for use prehospital in both combat and civilian settings.
