If this should go in EMS talk I apologize. It's application (if it is utilized) would be mil/gov for a while I'd bet.
I just don't see it as applicable for anything other than extremity wounds.
Abdominal/thorasic is out because who knows where these little things could go once injected despite their claim to stick close by; doc could be fishing them out for hours.
Head/neck/face is out for the potential to cause airway compromise.
I think it is important to be innovative, and I am greatful that great minds are working to evolve medicine - both in combat/trauma and general health.
