This Member is very pleased that several projects important to
Nebraska and our nation are included in the conference report. First,
the final agreement includes $3.5 million for the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) for the Fibrinogen Bandages for Battlefield
Wounds Project. This is a very innovative research and development
initiative which shows great promise.
These funds will be used for biomedical tissue engineering research
to develop inexpensive, safe and effective fibrinogen for use in
bandages, foam and other medical devices. This source of fibrinogen,
developed from recombinant proteins instead of human plasma, will
remove the major obstacle to the development of an affordable
fibrinogen bandage. This research will build on the Department of
Defense's (DoD) $20 million investment to produce fibrinogen from
transgenic animals rather than human plasma and will create a safer,
less expensive and abundant supply for bandages and medical devices. A
cost-effective abundant fibrinogen supply will enable development of
state-of-the-art bandages and medical devices, saving the lives of
wounded soldiers and other trauma victims.
