"Bengaluru-based Miraqules developed a nanotechnology in powder form that mimics blood clotting proteins. The blood clotting powder rapidly produces fibrous compounds at room temperature that are a high volume to ratio and can absorb blood quickly when applied. "This is a product that will give you feedback instantly," Hossain told TechCrunch. "If there is a person bleeding, you apply it, and the bleeding stops. This whole thing happens within one or two minutes.""
""I was really bad at that, actually," Hossain said. "Her job was to create 3D structures that will help in bone tissue growth, that could help in bone generation. Every time I was synthesizing that material, it was getting dismantled." One day he took the dismantled particles and ground it into a powder. He brought this powder to a group working on blood clotting that was struggling to mix their solution properly to see if it could help - and it worked."
Sabir Hossain founded Miraqules in Bengaluru to develop a hemostatic solution after a family near-tragic bleeding incident. The company created a powdered nanotechnology that mimics blood-clotting proteins and rapidly produces fibrous compounds at room temperature with a high volume-to-ratio structure to absorb blood quickly. The powder provides immediate feedback by stopping bleeding within one to two minutes and clotted whole blood in seconds during testing. The technology emerged accidentally when dismantled biomaterial particles were ground into a powder and successfully applied to a blood-clotting solution. Miraqules is a Top 20 Startup Battlefield finalist.
