Medi-gel irl? Splendid. Now, how about that Omni-tool upgrade we've been thirsting for?

And no, getting headaches from being able to move objects with your mind does not count as a disability.

It has to go through 3 stages of clinical testing before it can be approved. That will take about 10 years.

But is that true if RFK Jr believes it works? Can’t he magically make it legal?

You can already make your own wound treatment at home with high grade wet wound compresses, sterile manuka honey and a bit of prep. Sterile prepped cod skin and synthetic variants already exist as incredible compresses. This is a step forward but nothing extremely sci-fi or impossible to see hitting the market within a couple of years. Now if your local p******* will stock it is a completely different question.

It's not just a compress though. It's an oxygen delivery and inflammation suppression system that will be able to be kept on for months at a time. It also is applied as a liquid that will conform to the shape of the wound better than fish skin could.
