About BloodSTOP® and Wound Care
When dealing with wounds that require the specialized talents of Wound Care Professionals, BloodSTOP® gauze is the ideal hemostatic gauze to be used in the
Wound Care setting. Each BloodSTOP® gauze piece is in a sterile package that is easy to handle and apply. For most bleeding wounds,
lacerations, and cuts, the Wound Care Professional simply applies
BloodSTOP® gauze to the bleeding wound site with a little pressure.
BloodSTOP® interacts with fibrin and platelettes in the blood to form a
clear hemostatic gel shield, which coagulates the blood and seals
the wound to keep out the dirt and infectious agents.
BloodSTOP® is used post-Curettage/Debridement to stop the bleeding and to serve as a "sterile shield". BloodSTOP® Gauze is placed on the site first with a regular gauze dressing over it. Twenty-four hours later, this first dressing is removed (sterile water or saline may be used) and replaced with a prescribed dressing. Reports have come back after extensive procedures, that BloodSTOP™ "Stopped the bleeding in a heart beat!".
If a patient has several problematic wound sites, several gauze pieces can be
applied quickly, and the Wound Care Professional can monitor each
site easily!
Unlike traditional gauze and pressure techniques to stop
bleeding, BloodSTOP® gauzes do most of the work to reduce tissue trauma
as a wound is treated. When time is at essence, BloodSTOP™ works fast to stop the
bleeding with the minimal effort.
