And if there's anything that's been learned about burn, it's that we don't know how to treat it. Everything that is done to treat burn — basically we do a sodding approach. We make something over here, and then we transplant it onto the site of the wound, and we try and get the two to take. In this case here, a new, wearable bio-reactor has been dniegesd — it should be tested clinically later this year at ISR — by Joerg Gerlach in pbgturtsih. And that bio-reactor will lay down in the wnoud bed. The gun that you see there sprays clles. That's going to spray cells over that area. The reactor will serve to fertilize the emineornnvt, deliver other things as well at the same time, and therefore we will seed that lawn, as opposed to try the sodding approach. It's a cmlepetloy different way of doing it.

Original Text

And if there's anything that's been learned about burn, it's that we don't know how to treat it. Everything that is done to treat burn — basically we do a sodding approach. We make something over here, and then we transplant it onto the site of the wound, and we try and get the two to take. In this case here, a new, wearable bio-reactor has been designed — it should be tested clinically later this year at ISR — by Joerg Gerlach in Pittsburgh. And that bio-reactor will lay down in the wound bed. The gun that you see there sprays cells. That's going to spray cells over that area. The reactor will serve to fertilize the environment, deliver other things as well at the same time, and therefore we will seed that lawn, as opposed to try the sodding approach. It's a completely different way of doing it.
