- Description
- The Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) seeks concept paper submissions to meet requirements for its Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) 15-001, Section V, Topic Area H, Biomedical Translational Initiative. Summary Severe hemorrhage, particularly non-compressible torso and junctional hemorrhage, continues to be the leading cause of US deaths in combat. In collaboration with NHRC, the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) has a requirement to develop novel strategies to control severe hemorrhage on the battlefield. Recent advancements in endovascular technology have led USAMRMC researchers to reexamine the effectiveness of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) as a technique for controlling torso hemorrhage in austere combat environments and as an alternative to less field-expedient techniques such as thoracotomy and aortic cross clamping. NHRC and USAMRMC are seeking support in further developing the REBOA technology and delivery prototypes that can support military specifications and a label indication for trauma that will allow for better operational adaptability and use in austere environments. Research Objectives: The Government seeks new developments in REBOA technology with the overall objective of controlling hemorrhage from non-compressible injuries while maintaining vital blood pressure and circulation to the brain and heart. The prototype or delivery mediums must be indicated for use in trauma and have potential for point-of-injury care in austere combat environments. Specific objectives include: Fluoroscopy-independent placement of balloon catheter Minimization of time needed to place catheter Low profile/small sheath size Integrated arterial pressure monitoring, allowing operator to monitor blood pressure above and below the balloon Minimization of prototype weight and volume Safeguards against balloon overinflation and inadvertent vessel perforation Ruggedization of device to withstand field conditions and maximize protection against patient infection Submission Instructions: Interested Vendors can go to the following website for details on concept paper submission: http://www3.natick.army.mil/NHRC-Broad-Agency-Announcement.aspx. All Concept Papers should be submitted to the NHRC POC below by Friday May 8th, 3:30 PM EST.
