Who is it for?

BloodSTOP and BloodSTOP iX hemostatic gauze can be used on anyone who is bleeding�whether they are bleeding because of a minor cut or a major surgery. It is commonly used in a wide variety of settings�including home first aid kits, school athletic fields, emergency responders' kits, veterinary offices, surgery rooms, dental offices, ob/gyn offices, and battlefields.

How does it work?

When it comes into contact with blood, BloodSTOP hemostatic gauze speeds coagulation and expands to a gel that adheres to the surface and applies pressure as it seals the wound.

What are the BloodSTOP and iX differences?

LifeScience PLUS makes two hemostatic gauze products: BloodSTOP and BloodSTOP iX. They are both water-soluble hemostatic agents made from the finest completely natural cellulose. BloodSTOP hemostatic gauze is often used externally because of its cost-effectiveness; it is made of oxidized cellulose. BloodSTOP iX is used primarily internally; it is made from etherized regenerated cellulose and typically stops bleeding 80% faster than traditional methods and reduces blood loss by 60%.

About BloodSTOP™ and Emergency Medical Services
Emergency Medical Service personnel such as EMTs, policemen, and firemen need reliable, safe, and effective tools when they face the unexpected challenges of the real world.

BloodSTOP™ hemostatic gauze is the ideal gauze to be used in the emergency setting for these professionals. Each gauze is sterilely packaged and easy to handle and apply. For most bleeding wounds, lacerations, and cuts, the EMS professional simply applies BloodSTOP™ hemostatic gauze to the bleeding site with a little pressure.

BloodSTOP™ takes over and interacts with the blood to form a clear gel shield, which coagulates the blood and seals the wound to keep out the dirt and infectious agents.

If a victim has several bleeding sites, several gauzes can be applied quickly, and the EMS professional can focus on other lifesaving tasks.

Unlike traditional gauze and pressure techniques to stop bleeding, BloodSTOP™ gauzes do most of the work to free up the rescuer. When time is at essence, BloodSTOP™ works fast to stop the bleeding with the minimal effort.
