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 Obstetrics & Gynecology
BloodSTOP™ iX is the ideal hemostatic gauze for a variety of inpatient and outpatient Ob/Gyn procedures.

A silky gauze, BloodSTOP™ iX is easy to handle and can be customized to fit into hard to reach bleeding sites that are often a challenge faced by obstetricians and gynecologists.

BloodSTOP™ iX can be used to control bleeding in outpatient procedures such as the loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), colposcopy, cryoablation, dilation and curettage (D & C) procedure, conization, and hysteroscopy. BloodSTOP™ iX can also be used in inpatient surgical procedures such as caesarian section, hysterectomy, fibroid surgery, laparoscopy, and oncological surgery.

BloodSTOP™ iX is easy to apply to a bleeding site and quickly accelerates clotting. For a wide area bleed, the surgeon can place several gauzes to stop the bleeding so he can focus on his operative task. Once the bleeding is controlled, BloodSTOP™ iX can be removed with saline irrigation prior to closure of the operative site.

BloodSTOP™ iX reduces bleeding time by 80% and blood loss by 60%, which can save life and improve healing.
