BloodSTOP® is a natural, biocompatible, non-irritating, animal-free material that adheres to a wound, absorbs blood, stops bleeding, and forms a protective layer to create an environment for wound healing.  Its water solubility allows it to be rinsed off without disruption to the clotted surface.

BloodSTOP® iX reduces hold times when used as an adjunct to manual pressure for topical bleeding control in sheath pulls.  The features of BloodSTOP® iX make it uniquely suited to this application:

•       Activates in seconds by contact with blood, transforming to a gel to form a seal over the wound

•       Conforms to all wound surfaces

•       Easy to cut, fold or layer 

•       Retains sealant capacity during patient movement

•       Can be reactivated with direct pressure if re-bleed occurs away from the lab

•       Requires no straps or additional pressure devices

•       Significantly more cost effective than competitors

 

 

 

BloodSTOP® iX is intended for the control of surface bleeding at vascular access sites in cases where hemostasis by clotting is indicated.  It is not intended as a substitute for the appropriate use of vascular closure devices when such devices are indicated.

 

 

 

“Over the years I have used many topical hemostatic pads and BloodSTOP iX is the most effective at reducing hold times that I have found.  It is versatile and as a single package solution for most routine applications, economical enough to use.  Long Beach Memorial Hospital has a very busy Interventional Radiology Lab and the time saved with BloodSTOP iX is important in maintaining the flow of our daily schedule and the quality of our patient care.”
