A
PRODUCT FOR FAST APPLICATION
IN ANY BLEEDING SITUATION
Worldwide there are SEVERAL HUNDRED million
medical emergencies and surgical procedures that also require effective
bleeding control and wound care. In addition, there are an estimated
500 million tooth extractions each year that require gauze to control
bleeding.
INSTA-STOP
INSTA-STOP hemostatic gauze is made of natural cotton (cellulose)
and is refined, then sterilized. When the gauze is applied to a
bleeding surface, and slight direct pressure is applied, the gauze
absorbs fluid, and swells, reaching and blocking the end of the
blood capillary from injury, stopping the bleeding and protecting
the wound.
INSTA-STOP hemostatic gauze can be used
on anyone who is bleeding. The desired choice of size is based upon
the patients' bleeding control needs.
How
does INSTA-STOP work?
When INSTA-STOP comes into contact with blood, it speeds coagulation
and expands to a gel that adheres to the surface as it seals the
wound. Upon applying INSTA-STOP hemostatic gauze to the bleeding
area, it adheres to the surface and helps seal the damaged blood
vessels. Once the gauze makes contact with blood, it expands to
create direct pressure and helps stop bleeding (often within 45-60
seconds). Once INSTA-STOP hemostatic gauze has helped form a clot,
it is water-soluble so it is easily rinsed away with sterile water,
saline or hydrogen peroxide.
