Dressing battlefield wounds may be a "down and dirty" process. But its just as essential to keep surgical instruments sterilized in the field as in the operating room.

In the Technology Spotlight, Subrata Roy, Ph.D., of the Applied Physics Research program at UF and Sestar Medical, describes to TV 20's David Snyder there are many other applications for the process.
