Floros, joined by Dr. Jane Bortolatto, vice president of Clinical Operations, visited to discuss collaborative research on a novel bone fracture fixation technology for craniomaxillofacial (CMF) fractures. The research, led by Doctors John Simecek and Nancy Millenbaugh of NAMRU San Antonio and Cmdr. Drew Havard of USUHS, focuses on the usage of BoneTape for treatment of CMF injuries. The research is funded through the Naval Advanced Medical Development (NAMD) Program. BoneTape is a flexible, resorbable tape that stabilizes broken bones around the face and head. NAMRU San Antonio is one of eight research laboratories within Navy Medicine Research and Development. Its mission is to conduct gap driven combat casualty care, craniofacial, and directed energy research to improve survival, operational readiness, and safety of Department of Defense personnel engaged in routine and expeditionary operations.
