PRISMEDICAL announced today the award of a $2.8 million contract to miniaturize a system that can produce sterile saline at the point-of-use. The contract is the fourth and largest to date that the company has received from the Office of Naval Research (ONR). With the new award, PRISMEDICAL begins research and development of a system targeted for the corpsman/medic in trauma situations where evacuation of the casualty is delayed and the administration of IV saline at the point of injury is the only option for survival.
