Colonel Valerii Vyshnevskyi, the Center’s Director of Program Implementation and Ukraine’s Senior National Representative to JATEC, spoke about this in an interview with Ukrinform.
As the Ukrainian officer noted, a joint Ukraine–NATO workshop was held, attended by medical personnel from the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and NATO.
“Representatives of the manufacturing company presented the fourth generation of this device—a portable kidney replacement device. This is a critically important device, as in cases of high amputations or prolonged use of a tourniquet, tissue dies and toxic substances enter the bloodstream, which can cause internal organs—primarily the kidneys—to fail. Having such a device in service can ensure the survival of the wounded until full medical care is provided. “Experts examined the device at this workshop and deemed it promising. However, the fourth generation of the device has not yet undergone testing, so clinical trials must be conducted before it is transferred to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine,” Vyshnevsky said.

As reported by Ukrinform, JATEC emphasizes that Poland, the Baltic states, and Northern European countries are showing the greatest interest in studying Ukraine’s combat experience, as their geographical proximity to Russia makes them more acutely aware of the threat of a potential conflict.
