轻便、不易燃凝胶可直接用于前线伤口 一种最初由加拿大国防部资助研发的创新伤口和烧伤治疗产品，如今正通过无人机投送，帮助战火蹂躏的乌克兰的伤兵和平民。
Lightweight, non-flammable gel applied directly to injuries on front lines An innovative wound and burn treatment initially funded by Canada's Department of National Defence is now being delivered by drone to help wounded soldiers and civilians in war-torn Ukraine.
总部位于卡尔加里的 NanoTess 公司于 2022 年获得加拿大卫生部批准，准许其 NanoSALV Catalytic（纳米催化凝胶）上市，并曾在露营地为无家可归人群提供治疗以评估疗效。如今该产品已投入军事用途。
Calgary-based NanoTess received Health Canada approval for its NanoSALV Catalytic in 2022 and evaluated it by treating unhoused populations in encampments. It is now being used for military purposes.
NanoTess 联合创始人兼首席执行官梅根·莱斯利（Megan Leslie）表示：“我们其实是 2020 年凭借国防部的一笔拨款创立了这家公司，到了 2026 年，事情已然回到原点——产品现在正用于乌克兰前线。”
"We actually started this company with a grant from National Defence back in 2020 and then have had it come full circle here in 2026 to now be used in the front lines within Ukraine," said NanoTess co-founder and CEO Megan Leslie.
其在乌克兰的使用成果于周三在多伦多举行的 CAN Health Network 年会上公布。
The results of its use in Ukraine were presented at the CAN Health Network Annual Conference in Toronto on Wednesday.
莱斯利说，NanoSALV 催化剂悬浮在一种轻便且不易燃的凝胶中，可直接涂抹。它能由无人机运往前线，供受过有限医疗训练的人员用于治疗各类伤口。
Leslie said the NanoSALV catalyst is suspended in a lightweight and non-flammable gel that is directly applied. It can be flown by drone to the front line and used by people with limited medical training to treat a range of wounds.
NanoSALV 于 6 月开始在乌克兰前线投入使用，迄今已用于治疗 6000 名伤兵和平民。该凝胶利用纳米材料加速并配合人体自然愈合过程，降低愈合所需能量，并对抗细菌及其他致病微生物。
NanoSALV was made available for use on the Ukrainian front lines in June and so far has been used to treat 6,000 wounded soldiers and civilians. The gel uses nanomaterials to speed up and work with the body's natural healing process.
临床药师海莉·尤伦（Hailie Uren）表示，这种治疗手段对于在战场上争取时间至关重要。尤伦供职于乌克兰卫生部，她说，当只有 1 名护士要照顾多达 90 名患者时，NanoSALV 可涂抹使用并发挥作用。
It lowers the amount of energy required for healing and fights germs and other infection-causing micro-organisms. Clinical pharmacist Hailie Uren said the treatment is critical for buying time on the battlefield.

Uren, with the Ukrainian Ministry of Health, said NanoSALV can be applied and go to work when there's only one nurse to care for up to 90 patients.

“伤员刚到医院时，我会在第二天去探望他们，查看他们的伤口，”她说。“屋里的其他人随后就会试图找出自己的伤口，好让我也给他们用上这种凝胶。” 本月早些时候，一场风助火势的野火在加拿大韦恩赖特军事基地夺去了四名加拿大士兵的生命，烧伤数十人，烧伤治疗悲剧性地回到了加拿大本土。
"[After] I receive a casualty when they first arrive at the hospital I will go and visit them the next day and will have a look at their wound," she said. "The other people in the room [then] try and find wounds just so I can use it on them as well." Burn treatment for soldiers tragically came home to Canada earlier this month when a wind-whipped wildfire killed four Canadian soldiers and burned dozens more at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright.
“我的同事们正在埃德蒙顿救治一些重度烧伤患者，”在阿尔伯塔省行医、曾在乌克兰工作过的外科医生冯埃里克（Eric Fung，音译）说。他说，在大规模伤亡事件中使用这种凝胶可以减轻系统压力。
"My colleagues were responding to some of the larger burn injuries in Edmonton," said Dr. Eric Fung, an Alberta-based surgeon who has spent time in Ukraine. He said using the gel in a mass casualty event can reduce strain on the system.
“在大规模伤亡事件中，这确实会让我们本已不堪重负的系统超负荷运转，我们必须为这些新患者腾出空间，要做到这一点，就需要让患者尽快入院和出院，”他说。
"In a mass casualty event it really overloads our already overtaxed system, and we have to find room for these new patients and to accomplish that we need to get people in and out of hospital," he said.
