Kidding, but a really cool new product: http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/02/tech/innovation/xstat-wound-treatment/index.html?hpt=hp_t3 You can find many things in Williams-Sonoma, the kitchenware retailer.

At least, that's what RevMedx found.The U.S. military had asked the medical technology company to come up with a solution for stopping gunshot and shrapnel wounds from bleeding out. The working idea was a medical version of Fix-a-Flat, the foam you squirt in punctured tires to plug up a hole. (Perhaps the military had been browsing at Pep Boys.) Instead, it was a sponge that solved the problem, says Andrew Barofsky, RevMedx's CEO.
