Most frequent in the elderly but fast growing in younger people;
Removal of blood clot is possible within the first 4h post-trauma (benefits to less than 20% patients)

Spinal Cord injuries, Traumatic Brain Injuries and Strokes, a cascade of damages
EPICENTER
The initial trauma called the initial lesion, is focal and/or diffuse:
Compression
Contusion
Stretching
Distortion
Laceration
Hematoma
Hypoxia
WAVES OF DEATH
Leads to cascades of damages called secondary lesions that spread from initial lesion:Neuronal suffering and death
Our positioning : an emergency injection of MAP4343 to prevent secondary damages after the initial lesion.
