In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with Joe Landolina, co-founder and CEO of Cresilon, developers of a groundbreaking technology that's pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the field of trauma care.

Joe was introduced to chemical lab research at a young age, which kindled a lifelong interest in discovering responsive, nature-derived materials. Embarking on his journey as an entrepreneur and innovator at only 17, Joe invented the technology behind Vetigel, a major breakthrough in the trauma field.

In this interview, Joe reveals the development process behind Vetigel, an innovative product that stops severe bleeding with remarkable speed. Joe expounds on the unorthodox paths he took to build the company and the importance of a well-rounded team that’s able to balance creative and conservative strategies.
