Science & Technology — TraumaShield PTSD Prevention
Science & Technology

Mechanism, not hope.

An FDA-approved agent, delivered by a field-ready device, acting on the fear-memory consolidation window. Below: how it works, what it is made of, and the evidence behind it.

Scientific validation

Mechanism of action

Memories are consolidated — not formed — in the hours after trauma. TraumaShield acts on four pathways during that window. Select a pathway to load its model.

Mechanism of action model

Suppress fear learning responses (by reducing the hyper activity in the Amygdala).

Enhances healthy contextual memory (by enhancing hippocampal neuroplasticity).

Enhance GABAergic inhibitory transmission.

01 · Mechanism
Fear-Memory Consolidation Window

The neuroscientific mechanism explaining why the 0-6 hour window is the only viable prevention point. Memories are consolidated — not formed — in this window, making pharmacological intervention uniquely effective.

02 · Safety
FDA-Approved Agent

Existing safety profile eliminates Phase 1 risk entirely. The repurposed agent has a well-characterized pharmacokinetic and safety profile from prior clinical use.

03 · Evidence
Second Medical Use — Clinically Validated

Backed by independent peer-reviewed studies. 47% reduction confirmed in human surgical trauma data. Reproducible across preclinical SEFL animal models.

"Backed by independent clinical validation and a full scientific package assembled by world-leading experts in psychiatry and neuroscience."
Strategic moats

Protected, fast,
