"Electrospinning of Nanofiber Fibrinogen Structures" Gary E. Wnek, Marcus E. Carr, David G. Simpson, and Gary L. Bowlin Nano Lett. 3(2) pp 213 - 216; (2003) (Letter) DOI: 10.1021/nl025866c
 

Description:

With the same compound the body uses to clot blood, scientists at Virginia Commonwealth University have created a nano-fiber mat that could eventually become a "natural bandage." Electrospun from strands of fibrinogen 1,000 times thinner than a human hair, the fabric could be placed on a wound and never taken off — minimizing blood loss and encouraging the natural healing process.
