Professor Rodgers and colleagues at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) received a grant from MTEC to develop a fieldable direct osmotherapy device for the point-of-injury reduction of cerebral edema following penetrating traumatic brain injury.  This work will use the patented technology developed by Rodgers(US patent 10,420,918 B2) to reduce intracranial pressure and edema in animal models after simulated ballistic wounds. The successful outcome could be immediate treatment for soldiers in the field.
