NoBlood

So glad I found this forum! I'm supposed to give a 4 minute talk on Monday 27th August in Finland on artificial blood to an audience of a medical recruitment company. So far in my recearch I've found perfluorocarbon (PFC) based emulsion Oxygent to be totally free of blood fractions, 100% synthetic.(manufactured by Alliance Pharmaceuticals, CA) Any of you know anything/had experience on this product? I learned that it has been released for use in South Africa, and here in Europe it is in the final stages (phase 3) of clinical research and Alliance has made arrangements with some companies to market it here soon. It seems to me that this product sounds most promising as an oxygen carrying blood substitute - please advice if otherwise. Many thanks in advance for your input.

my apologies for misspelling the product name, it is now correctly spelled with a g.
