Inspired by spray guns and spray-on dressings, this device is designed for large, wide wounds sustained outdoors.

It immediately disinfects the injury while (or: and) simultaneously applying a medicated artificial membrane to seal the area and prevent secondary infection.

Design Concept

The Healing Gun is a spray-based First-Aid Kit created for rapid injury treatment during outdoor activities. Drawing inspiration from spray-on dressings, it allows users to act quickly, even on sizable wounds. The device sprays disinfectant and medication while forming a delicate Silk membrane over the injury. This membrane effectively seals the wound from external contaminants instantly, reducing the risk of secondary infection and shielding it from further irritation.
