About AMEDD - AMEDD Innovations Since Desert Storm

In 2008, DoD established the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine to develop new products and therapies to treat severely injured service members.  Regenerative medicine represents great potential for treating our wounded with debilitating, disabling and disfiguring extremity injuries and burns.

• The Rule of 10's, a modified resuscitation formula, has greatly simplified the calculating of prehospital Intravenous fluids by Medics.
