ADF Frozen Blood Project
Joint Health Command and Australian Red Cross Blood Service collaborated to form The ADF Frozen Blood Project. Its aim is to develop and supply deep frozen blood components capable of long term storage at minus 80oC suitable for ADF use in deployed and austere environments.
Frozen blood will augment current ADF systems and provide a viable, safe, fully tested and readily available Australian blood supply to enhance ADF’s deployable health capability.

STOP BLOOD = SAVE LIVES
“Uncontrolled haemorrhage accounts for more than 80% of combat casualty deaths”
XSTAT is a ‘one of a kind” Haemostatic/haemorrhage control device.
XSTAT is a narrow, syringe-like applicator that when inserted into the wound, injects mini-sponges that absorbs blood and instantly expands within the wound cavity, giving 360 degree compression, stopping the bleed within seconds, without requiring additional external pressure.
