Bleeding control has evolved far beyond tourniquets and gauze. Emerging technologies—including hemostatic gels, spray-based agents, and advanced junctional compression devices—are expanding what’s possible at the point of injury.


This panel brings together clinical and operational experts to examine the next wave of hemorrhage control and its role in prehospital care. Panelists will explore where these tools are being used today, how they perform in real-world conditions, and the challenges of training, deployment, and adoption.


From junctional hemorrhage to complex wound environments, this discussion will separate innovation from implementation—highlighting what is ready for the street, what still requires validation, and how these advancements may shape the future of trauma care.
