Oxycyte – the Superblood

November 6th, 2006

Oxycyte SuperbloodOxycyte is a man-made, pure-white compound that looks like blood, but it is claimed to carry oxygen 50 times as effectively as our own blood. It’s a derivative of non-haemoglobin synthetics that have been around for some time and will be tested as a substitute for donated blood during emergency surgeries to prevent brain injury caused by lack of oxygen.
