BIOLOGICAL ACTIVE BULLETS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS

摘要

A hemostatic bullet projectile is for discharge from a firearm and for use as a weapon. The ammunition is a bullet in a cartridge. The bullet projectile includes, and is distinguished by, the use of at least one potentially biological active substance delivered to a bullet wound of a target and serving as a hemostatic agent to promote blood clotting and/or control hemorrhage in the bullet would to stabilize the target until surgery can be performed. Methods are included to promote blood clotting and/or control hemorrhage in at least one bullet wound by delivery of a hemostatic agent by the bullet projectile causing the wound as well as minimizing the risk of embolism from the hemostatic bullet projectile.

主权项

1. A bullet projectile structured to be packaged in a cartridge/shell and structured to be discharged from a firearm and used as a weapon to produce at least one bullet wound in a target;
said bullet projectile including, and distinguished by the use of, at least one potentially biological active substance not involved in the propelling of said bullet projectile to said target; said at least one potentially biological active substance undergoing at least one physical and or chemical change when said at least one potentially biological active substance comes in contact with and is triggered by and interacts with a bodily fluid of said target, following impact and penetration of said bullet projectile with said target; said at least one physical and or chemical change producing at least one result in said at least one bullet wound chosen from the group consisting of cauterization, promoting of blood coagulation, absorbing fluid, expansive filling and obstructing within, and applying intracavitary pressure against, said at least one bullet wound to reduce or arrest hemorrhage and to reduce or prevent lethality of said bullet projectile.
