Emergency Medical Innovation LLC received a $256,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to develop a nasal compression device with medicated intranasal sponges for treating nosebleeds. Funded through the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the award will support design and testing of a nasal clip capable of consistently applying proper pressure levels and eluting appropriate doses of medication for nosebleed treatment when placed nominally. Over the one-year period from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2023, the company will complete studies to design and develop the clip-sponge prototype, test its effectiveness using a nosebleed model, and identify manufacturing processes to commercialize and scale the device in a cost-effective manner. The outcome will be a functional and lab-tested nosebleed treatment clip to help address this common medical problem.
