Evaluate the article
Lead- The lead is relatively concise and accurately summarizes the key aspects of the topic. The main issue with the lead is that in its present form, it does not include a description of the articles major sections.

Content- The content of the article is relatively sparse. Although the information is factually correct, there are major gaps that should be addressed. Specifically, information regarding the history of the product's development, medical uses, methods for placement, and topics of current research should be added.

Tone- the tone of the article is informal and not consistent with an academic article. The tone needs to be changed to reflect the nature of the work.

Sources- The sources cited for the article are sparse considering this procedure has been a major topic of trauma research for several years. Additionally, of the four articles cited, one is on an animal model and one is a case report. There are a plethora of more robust reviews that can, and should, be cited.

Organization- the organization of the article is adequate but will be changed once additional information is added.

Images- there are no images currently though this will be changed in the coming weeks.

Talk- there is no current discussion on the page.

Overall impression- The article is sparse but provides opportunity to make significant improvements on a topic that is very prominent in modern medical practice.
