00:00Every second counts when it comes to emergency response.
00:13That's why a local tech can be a big help in stopping the spread of the virus.
00:18This technology was developed using nuclear research and is cheaper than those made abroad.
00:23Come on, let's change the game with this life-saving innovation.
00:31When we hear the word nuclear research, we might think of
00:41weapons of mass destruction.
00:48But actually, there are many good applications of nuclear research.
00:53Mga Kapuso, nandito tayo ngayon sa DOST Philippine Nuclear Research Institute
00:57para malaman ang game-changing innovation nila sa healthcare.
01:02When you say nuclear, ang pumapasok agad sa isip siya, nuclear weapons.
01:06So here, we use nuclear technology, radiation, in order to develop materials,
01:12functional materials for different uses.
01:14Meron pang agriculture, pang health.
01:16Ang isa sa latest cutting-edge innovation nila, ang new Hemostat technology.
01:21Isang first-aid device na ginagamit sa injuries para tumigil ang pagdugo.
01:25Looks like brown sugar, pero yan ang granule form ng Hemostat.
01:29At once mag-contact sa sugat, mag-e-expand ito at bubuo ng physical seal
01:34para matigil ang pagtagas ng dugo in just seconds.
01:37Amazing!
01:38Minsan, it takes 10 minutes to 1 hour bago ka mag-bleed out.
01:42So very important, first, to stop yung bleeding.
01:46And then, kailangan it's strong enough para matransport natin ang ating pasyente.
01:55Sa paggawa ng Hemostat, pinaghalo namin ang tubig at isang uri ng cellulose
01:59na nakukuha naman sa mga halaman.
02:01Idadaan ito sa radiation.
02:03Ito na yung Hemostat.
02:05Ito na siya, okay.
02:06So matibay na siya.
02:08At patutuyuin sa oven para tumigas.
02:11Dalagay po natin siya sa grinder.
02:16Yan na po, ang kanyang itsura.
02:19Mayroon din itong applicator
02:21para sa mas malalalim na sugat tulad ng stab at gunshot wounds
02:25at gauze type para mas madaling itapal.
02:28Napapabilis din ito ang natural clotting ng katawan
02:31para maghilom agad ng sugat.
02:33Nakonnect kami sa military and then,
02:35medyo nasabi nila sa amin na may kulang nga sila ng Hemostat.
02:39Meron mga imported na hindi kasi ganun kamura.
02:44With the first ever Hemostat technology ng bansa,
02:47napunan din ang pangangailangan ng healthcare industry
02:50at emergency response.
02:52At dahil locally made,
02:53mas mura ito kumparasa nasa merkado.
02:56Mas strong yung clots na napoform niya.
02:58One of the first in the Philippines and actually the world
03:01to be made from a nuclear-based or radiation-based technology.
03:06Nadaan na ito sa clinical trials
03:08bago maging available sa merkado.
03:10There you have it mga Kapuso,
03:11napakagandang innovation.
03:13At isang halimbawa lang po yan
03:15kung paano natin magagamit ang nuclear research
03:18for life-saving medical treatment.
03:21Para sa GMA Integrated News,
03:23ako si Martin Aviar,
03:24Changing the Game!
