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 Sports Medicine
Athletes and trainers alike will appreciate the convenience and speed of BloodSTOP hemostatic gauze.

During training or competitive sports, athletes often get cuts, scrapes or lacerations that bleed. BloodSTOP stops the bleeding fast so they can return to their sport.

BloodSTOP hemostatic gauze is especially useful in contact sports such as football, boxing, hockey, and martial arts. BloodSTOP hemostatic gauze enhances clotting when it comes in contact with blood to form a transparent hemostatic gel shield. This shield protects the wound from the environment and infectious agents, and has enough tensile strength to stabilize the area.

In the fast paced world of athletic competition, BloodSTOP stops the bleeding fast so the athlete can return to the game.
