Atlanta (May 14, 2008) – MedStarts, LLC, a medical device incubator and technology brokerage firm, announced today that it has recently entered into an agreement with Technology Resource International Corporation to support and market their Aquasan technology. Dr. Kai Su, president of Technology Resource International Corporation, along with his colleagues, created Aquasan, an innovative blood clotting technology to treat acute wounds. The market for this unique technology has been estimated to be $200 million to $2 billion.

Richard Berlin, president and CEO at MedStarts stated, “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Kai and his entire team at Technology Resource International Corporation. They have a history of developing truly innovative products that are useful in a variety of clinical settings. Although a variety of techniques have been used to address blood clotting, none hold the promise that their Aquasan technology does. We will build a great business together.”

As we developed this further, we saw a real need and opportunity to take this technology and use it to clot excessive bleeding in a variety of forums.
