Hemostatic dressing 10x10cm

This hemostatic dressing is a single-use, sterile and bioabsorbable medical device, made from a cellulose structure, which allows for the control of bleeding.

Upon application and contact with blood, the product's molecular structure changes to form a gelatinous membrane that adheres to the wound, creating a mechanical barrier to immediately reduce blood flow. Subsequently, platelets from the wound attach to the gauze via intermolecular forces to form a stable membrane capable of withstanding severe arterial and venous blood flow for hours.

Specific molecular groups, created during the manufacturing process, are then dispersed during gel formation to activate various clotting factors in the blood, thus helping to form a physiologically natural fibrin clot in the wound. Once bleeding has stopped, the remaining residual membrane can be irrigated out of the wound without pulling on the soft tissues or the existing clot.
