Silky Hemostatic Gauze Stops Bleeding

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 29 May 2007
A novel hemostatic gauze interacts with blood platelets and fibrin in wounds to form a hemostatic matrix, instantly stopping bleeding.

The hypoallergenic and biologically inert BloodStop iX gauze is easy to handle and can be customized to fit into hard-to-reach bleeding sites. More...
The gauze can be used to control bleeding in outpatient procedures such as the loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), colposcopy, cryoablation, dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure, conization, and hysteroscopy. The gauze can also be used in inpatient surgical procedures such as caesarian section, hysterectomy, fibroid surgery, laparoscopy, and oncologic surgery. BloodStop iX has been found to reduce bleeding time by 80% and blood loss by 60%.

Made from etherized regenerated natural cellulose, the hypoallergenic gauze can additionally protect injuries from infection and eliminate the potential for scarring. When applied to a wound, the gauze interacts with blood platelets to form a clear gel that instantaneously blocks the flow of blood. The product is completely water-soluble, easily washing off with saline irrigation without causing additional trauma to the wound area.

For a wide area bleed, the surgeon can place several gauzes to stop the bleeding so he can focus on his operative task. The gauze is cut to fit difficult areas such as the mouth, nose, and deep wounds. Furthermore, because the gauze is transparent, medical professionals can easily monitor the wound. BllodStopP iX is a product of LifeScience Plus (Santa Clara, CA, USA).
