This is truly an amazing breakthrough. As we all know, getting burned is one of the most horrific injuries one can sustain. A remarkable new therapy may change that forever. Watch this video and be astounded (stay to the end).

Wow! Incredible – simply incredible.
And it's a plug for adult stem cells, too. Thanks for sharing this.

Should be title, "Adult Stem Cells – 47236; embryonic – 0"
That is VERY incredible!

I did some internet searching on this topic yesterday (after my college son sent me this video) and found some reports from as long ago as June 2008. The medical community behind the gun probably just finished up some trials and learned that it is highly successful, but the media has obviously been sitting on this one. No big surprise there. Watch and see if anything gets reported now. It clearly is incredible.

To the guy who invented this:
I hope you become richer than Bill Gates. Genius like yours needs to be rewarded.

I had a little burn of my thumb a while back- the pain was incredible- Burns are probably the worst pain- this doctor/inventor deserves the Peace Prize because he will give peace to so many

I can't get over how much I think that inventor probably was an airbrush artist at one point in his life. What a truly unique medical invention and I hope it helps to save thousands of lives.

He should get the Peace Prize just for having the best hair-do!
I hope this will help many many lives.
What a great mind!

As a purchaser for a hospital's OR, all I can think is, "How much is that tubing and syringe going to cost each."
I agree, it's amazing technology, but the $ is in the disposables.I can see the gun being free for a $200 tube set.

AMAZING!!! It made me cry, imagining how wonderful this breakthrough is. and how it will affect so many people. WOW! Mary L.

To answer Rob in Maine, I suspect even with the cost of the tubing, compared with long hospital stays, antibiotics and the ability to immediately return to work, the economic impact of this invention will be positive.
Also, WOW!

I'm a nurse and used to work in a burn unit. Now I work in an adult stem cell program. I'm amazed and gratified to see this – utterly amazing.

It makes one wonder. If God created everything. He also created burns. Now man has created a gun to help those with burns? If man wasn't supposed to have burns, then why did God create burns? I really makes me wonder about what kind of a God he is.
