Scientists test bite-resistant wetsuit materials on white and tiger sharks

Scientists from Australia reveal the results of bite -resistant wetsuit materials to reduce deaths caused by shark attacks.

Researchers from Flinders University in Adelaide, Southern Australia, tested four Wetsuit materials-Aqua Armor, Shark Stop, Actiontx-S and Brewster-Beyaz and Tiger Sharks to bite the material as they dragged behind a boat.

Tiger and white sharks are two types responsible for the most provoked shark attacks.

“They used this special material only in the special parts of the dress and designed to protect you in the most dangerous places and to protect the large arteries,” New England Aquarium, a senior scientist for Anderson Cabot Center, said to Associated Press.

Whitney was not involved in the work.

Scientists found that disaster injuries may still occur, while four ingredients reduced the damage from shark bites.

Whitney said that most people bitten by sharks died of blood loss, died of defeat or moving.

“This is usually a bite and released, so they bleed to death.” “So, the purpose of these cases is to protect you in certain areas and to go to the beach go to the lifeguards and get extra time to get medical assistance.”

Chainmail Wetsuits was created in the 1970s, but researchers said they did not offer the elasticity of movement for activities such as surfing and diving.

“The new Wetsuits, which usually contain strong and light fibers using ultra -high molecular weight polyethylene, provide both flexibility and protection, which makes them more suitable for entertainment use.” He said.

Dr. Flinders University Science and Engineering College. “Although there are small differences between the tested four materials, all of them will typically be associated with serious bleeding and tissue or limb loss,” he said.

The findings were published in Wildlife Research on Thursday.

“Our study showed that bites resistant materials included in wetsuites can reduce damage from large white and tiger sharks (up to 3 meters) compared to standard Neoprene Wetsite, even from moderate and severe bites.”

“Our results show that they can reduce blood loss and trauma from large lacerations and punctures, although they do not eliminate the risk caused by suit sharks, Professor of Flinders University, a professor of Flinders University, leading to the Southern Shark Ecology Group.

The researchers concluded that all of the four materials should be considered as existing measures to reduce the risk of shark bite and ultimately reduce the risk of shark bite to reduce serious wounds and blood loss “.
